How much of our brain's innate wiring is "pre-training"? We're born pre-wired to breath, to swallow, to blink, sleep, cry etc. Fine tuned over many many many epochs and baked into our model weights/DNA.
Is a newborn baby without learnt-knowledge not an intelligent being to you?
Or is an empty vessel such as a newborn baby intelligent merely because it has the ability to learn?
It gets pretty philosophical pretty quick. This is why I don't think there'll be a "moment" when AGI happens - there is so many ways to interpret what constitutes intelligence.
But yeah I agree that until models can learn in real time then I think we're probably not there yet. As I said - 5 years give or take I reckon.
