Some say artificial general intelligence (AGI) is already here. Others say it will take years or decades to arrive, maybe even centuries. I claim that we will never get there.

the topic of AGI recently grabbed my attention after I read an article proposing that we have reached the point of AGI. The authors argue that current generative AI models such as ChatGPT will go down in history as the first real-world examples of AGI. But more importantly, they also discuss at length why many people will inevitably disagree with this proposition.

This offense-defense tactic made me realize that we’ll most likely never reach a consensus about AGI. From my perspective, I don’t believe we’ll ever achieve AGI, but it won’t be due to technological limitations.
