alt Hacker NewsThe article is kind of silly like someone in the 1800s saying flying machines are a conspiracy theory. I mean obviously not - they were a proposed technology that hasn't been built yet but would in a while. I don't really get the point. I guess it's a discussion point of a sort. Maybe it's like those Weekly World News 'Gay Aliens Found' type headlines that get views for imaginative silliness?

Is it possible you're conflating LLM skepticism with overall AI (which is a label applied to something every decade or so) skepticism?
I don't believe LLMs with DLC will reach AGI, but I assume it will be happen at some point in the future.
But flying machines are well defined, or at least it's easily possible to come up with a good definition. 'A machine capable of transporting a person from a to b without touching the ground at any point in between', or whatever.
For AGI, that's very far from being true.
