> I'm not even sure we're any closer to AGI than we were before LLMs.

I mean this is very obviously untrue. It'd be like saying we aren't any closer to space flight after watching a demonstration of the Wright Flyer. Before 2022-2023 AI could barely write coherent paragraphs; now it can one-shot an entire letter or program or blog post (even if it's full of LLM tropes).

Just because something is overhyped doesn't mean you have to be dismissive of it.
