The answer is simple: AI systems aren’t just one technique, agent, or even agency — any somewhat anthropomorphic ones will be ensemblematic on an extensive and fundamentally-recursive level. LLMs are a groundbreaking technique that solve the “Frame Problem” by emulating human subconscious generative networks.

To paraphrase an old comment on here: the problem isn’t a chatbot gaining sapience inside a browser window, the problem is when billions of dollars are allocated to a self-administering ensemble of 10,000 GPT agents, each specialized for some task (aka functions). That, plus Wikipedia, Cyc, WolfraAlpha, YouTube, and Google Books at its fingertips.

“General” doesn’t even begin to cover what we’re already capable of, IMO.

I look at all the advice on prompts and I don't feel like the "Frame Problem" has been solved. It feels like it has shifted into the "Frame Invocation Problem".

And it is this very problem which led me to ask my question about different architectures.

Well said. I’d say the new “problem” is using the word differently though, namely to denote “optimization environment” rather than the original’s sense of “unsolved paradox”
