No, AI's lack of understanding holds it back.

It's literally just a statistical model that guesses what you want based on the prompt and a whole bunch of training data.

If we want a black box that's AGI/SGI, we need a completely new paradigm. Or we apply a bunch of old-school AI techniques (aka. expert systems) to augment LLMs and get something immediately useful, yet slightly limited.

RIght now LLMs do things and are somewhat useful. Short of some expectations, butter than others, but yeah, a statistical model was never going to be more than the sum of its training data.
