Why do people still talk about AGI? 4 by cermicelli | 1 comments on Hacker News. I am curious I am not sure if AI is just hype, I use it for software and a few other things. But looking at so many people talking about AGI when the best models can't even answer simple stuff correctly, fail at tool use, are vulnerable to all types of injection attacks that don't make sense. I don't know if the investments in AI are worth it but am I blind for not seeing any hope for AGI any time soon. Agentic AI is interesting perhaps but I hardly have had it work perfectly, I have to hold it's hand at everything. People making random claims about AGI soon is really weakening my confidence in AI in general. Given I haven't seen much improvements in last few years other than better tools and wrappers, and models that work better with these tools and wrappers.
