If you don't see AI replacing many roles, yet you know that LLM's are not what many seem to think they are, text generators and not AGI, then it seems you don't believe that AGI will ever happen.
Technology will continue to develop for decades and maybe centuries to come. To only see the short term possibilities is to forget how quickly technology advances.
And even just limiting the discussion to the short-term, what makes you think billionaires aren't taking advantage of the hype and coercing governments to forego safety and regulation? Maximizing profit over enhancing the lives of the common man?
You are correct. I do not see AGI happening. Technology does advance but we humans have limitations, as does the world we live in.
I mean, even open source LLM's at the moment can solve somewhat tedious and tricky problems, and just on somewhat mid-tier consumer hardware. Supercomputers exist, and it just seems, with time, breakthroughs are inevitable.
But I will admit, like you say, we have limits, but in the realm of technology, the only real limitations are energy and hardware.
