 Absolutely agree. The idea that an LLM is anything close to AGI is maddening to me.

 People want an AGI for *judgment* which is different than say for doing multivariable calculus. 

The same people who so eagerly outsourced their own judgment to laughably flawed “experts” the last few years are the ones in whom the fantasy is the strongest.

 Dude, yes… I see people pin all sorts of hopes and desires on AGI and it really disturbs me if I’m being honest.
