Perhaps the architecture is fine, but we simply need to train up generational ais that specifically focus on problem solving instead of pattern recog?

I mean, the architecture clearly isn’t fine. We’re getting very clever results, but we are not seeing even basic reasoning.

It is entirely possible that AGI can be achieved within our lifetime. But there is substantial evidence that our current approach is a complete and total dead end.

Not to say that we won’t use pieces of today’s solution. Of course we will. But something unknown but also really important and necessary for AGI appears to be completely missing right now.
