That's a pretty shit take. Humankind spent nearly 12 thousand years figuring out the combustion engine. It took 1 million years to figure farming. Compared to that, less than 500 years to create general intelligence will be a blip in time.

Llm's are not a step to agi. Full stop. Lovelace called this like 200 years ago. Turing and minsky called it in the 40s.

Pray tell, when did we achieve AGI so that you can say this with such conviction? Oh, wait, we didn't - therefore the path there is still unknown.
