Seems like quite a superficial approach to both language and LLM's. Is this how you think AGI will be reached? By grossly underestimating LLM's? I guarantee you that machine self-awareness is bound to happen in the context of LLM's and will be a key step toward AGI, but I'm sure you'll have none of this bullshit of mine!

"No amount of belief makes something a fact" (C) James Randy

Indisputable facts:

- it is possible to have intelligence without using natural language

- LLM is difficult to use without human participation, who must say something to the system and interpret its response

- the principle of the LLM excludes the possibility of (non-imitative) learning during operation

How this fits in with what is usually implied by the AGI, decide for yourself :-)

Yet truth cannot be killed or even buried, it remains aloft wheter people believe in it or not. I have the privilege to know for a fact that which yet remains obscure to most today, and for good reason. Give it a few years and you'll see many fields, not just AI, changing forever because of this. And it's language that will bring forth this change.
