Great article! I think the push for AGI is potentially misguided due to a number of reasons: 1- As Yann LeCun argues, human intelligence is not general 2- The minute we reach AGI, it will already be ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence), since AI is not so constrained by memory, processing time and power as our brains. 3- Most of the effort is on Language models, and our intelligence is not JUST about language. True AGI would require a "world model", as argued by LeCun and Demis Hassabis (Deep Mind) among others. 4- We still struggle to define what constitutes intelligence, and it very frequently gets mixed up with consciousness, and the concept of AI singularity.
