Of course it doesn’t, everyone is wasting time and money on LLMs instead of on proper AI research.
That’s not a reason to call them AI or AGI, though. On the contrary, it’s poisoning the term, because once the LLM bubble bursts no one will want to invest in AI research for decades, because they’ll associate it with LLMs. (Not to mention how hard it’ll be to research anything when all sources of information have been poisoned with LLM slop.)

I never said we should call the LLMs AGI. All I’m saying is the general population does call it AI, and that’s not going to change.
