I would afraid of some kind of an Experts system [1] written on Lisp as the most powerful PL [2] using NN [3] as an heuristic for some uncertain situation. I believe AGI/ASI level of an artificial intelligence is an interception of 1, 2, 3.

LLM is NN which is not a true Expert system, so it will never get rid of hallucinations. But one ability impresses me greatly - an ability to read long text and to make a digest, I craved this tool when I was a student.

One could point out that humans suffer from the same problem. Hallucinations should not be a problem for declaring something AGI. Additionally saying "science advances" is roughly the equivalent to "we've just realized we've all been hallucinating about X".

And there's in the extreme Turing's theorems. They do mean even a perfect ChatGPT would still not know everything (and practically, it would need time, a lot of time, before it really knew more than humans do).
