They will get better and might actually become a threat for software engineers, but I don’t think LLMs in their current form will get us much closer to AGI.
We need to do reinforcement learning in the real world to get there. And that will be hard, because right now we have the internet as an essence of human knowledge, mostly in text form so it’s super easy go work with. It’s basically easy mode in the context of AGIs (not to discredit the people working of SOTA LMMs, I just think that the way ahead of us will be even harder).
