I don&amp;#x27;t mean AGI, but general AI as in not specific AI. Before LLMs the problem eith AI was always that it &amp;quot;can only do one thing well&amp;quot;. Now we have something on the other side: AI that can do anything but nothing specific particularly well. This is a fundamental advancement which makes AGI actually imaginable. Before LLMs there was literally no realistic plan how to build general intelligence.</text></comment>
