> There is no AGI and maybe there will never be.

Of course there is no AGI existing currently. But don't you see the current boom as a (small) step in that direction? Unless one believes that GI is a phenomenon exclusive to biological life, I don't understand why you would think we won't develop it with enough time. The will and motivation to do so is clearly there already.

The current boom is great for business but it might never lead to AGI. It is possible that certain things will elude us for a very long time (or forever). Have you seen anything on true (anti) gravity technology, for example? A great science fiction staple, but it is not really happening. AGI might happen, but right now we might or might not be on the way to it - not sure we can know. But what is visible is that an industry around "AGI-worries" is created.

So far it is. Maybe it's not but until it happens, assuming the negative is no less logical than assuming the positive.
