Completely agree. I think the AGI fantasy that took the world by storm a year and a half ago has died out.

Of course, there are still true believers in these companies. They were true believers years and decades ago. But everyone who was suddenly introduced to the concept is no longer interested as the frictions of real world progress become apparent.

My prior in this case was full self driving, so I did not believe we were close to AGI even though LLMs can do impressive things. Hopefully software executives realize at this point that LLMs for software production will still require a competent and attentive “driver” to evaluate their output and apply human reasoning for years to come.

Can you give some examples of this disillusionment? I see more, not less people talking about these things nowadays. I'd like to believe that AGI is impossible but I don't see any evidence.
