Sorry I have Covid with brain fog right now so maybe you could help me out

Edit: Off the top of my foggy head, LLMs as I understand them are text completion predictors based on statistical probabilities trained on vast amounts of examples of what humans have previously written, whose output is styled with neuro linguistic programming also based on vast numbers of styles of human writing. This is my causual amatuer understanding. There is no logical, reasoning programing such as the Lisp programmers attempted in the 1980's, but clearly the logical abilities of the current LLMs fall short and they are not AGI for that reason. So how do we add logic abilities to make LLMs AGI? Should we revisit the approaches of the Lisp machines of the 1980's? This requires much research and discovery. Then there's the question of just what is general intelligence. I've always thought that emotional intelligence played a huge role in high intelligence, a balance between logic and emotion or Wise Mind is wisdom. Obviously we won't be building emotions into silicon machines or will we? Is anyone proposing this? This could take hundreds of years to accomplish if it is even possible. We could simulate emotion but that's not the same, that's logic. Logical intelligence and emotional capability I think are a prerequisite for consciousness and spirituality. If the Universe is conscious and it arises in a focused manner in brains that are capable of it then how do we build a machine capable of having consciousness arise in it? That's all I'm saying.
