Like others are saying the progress towards AGI isn’t great but each individual subdomain is seeing great advances all the time. Object detection, facial recognition and NLP with GPT are much better than they were a few years ago. Each of these can provide business value to a certain degree, but I would agree that something resembling AGI holds the most business value. For this to happen all of the pieces have to be put together somehow - right now research focuses on specific subdomains and improves the SOTA on them. Once someone figures out how to make everything work together, it could mean a second, much larger wave of AI. So the question is, when will that happen?
