However, I think we'll need something different to build AGI other than transformers, which means we're back to the beginning before the AI craze.
As it is all quite speculative indeed, this is good enough for me. I did not believe in AGI coming any time soon before the existence of these transformers, so assuming those won't be able to do the trick (and from my understanding superficially studying them, they are indeed not able to do anything truly creative), I can rest assured it's not going to happen any time soon.
