What's interesting is that one one hand LLM pumps are claiming a path to AGI.. while on the other hand, they are duct-taping in deterministic plugins for specific prompt types they find it better to offload...

In X years is it just going to be a thin OS-like layer where a majority of work is being handled by other "programs".

That doesn't seem very persuasive. The one example of a non-A GI we have, humans, does the same thing. We've been offloading arithmetic for at least 4000 years.

So, in essence, just like human beings?

That is my hopeful ideal
