alt Hacker NewsAGI vs narrow AI is just a matter of generality (robustness - removing the fragility of being good at some things and awful at others). So far the biggest markets for AI (LLMs) are coding and business automation, two areas where you very much just want something reliable and without fake opinions and personality.
There is a market for ChatBots with personalities (and it always amuses me that the inventor of the transformer, Noam Shazeer, saw this as the greatest business opportunity for them with his character.ai), although from what we've seen this can be highly problematic, and in fact China has just banned "AI girlfriends and boyfriends".

I'd agree to that statement, though the common application of it is to conclude that we are almost there, just need to improve "the models". I wholeheartedly disagree with that. The human mind works quite differently from an LLM. The latter is closer to a toaster than to a human brain.
