As others have pointed out already, the hype about writing code like senior engineer, or in general acting as a competent assistant is what created the expectation in the first place. They keep over-promising, but underdelivering. Who is the guy talking about AGI most of the time? Could it be the top-executive of one of the largest gen AI companies, do you think? I won't deny it has occasionally a certain 'star-trek-computer' flair to it, but most of the time it feels like having a heavily degraded version of "rain man". He may count your cards perfectly one moment, then will get stuck trying to untie his shoes. I stopped counting how many times it produced just outright wrong outputs, to the point of suggesting literally the opposite of what one is asking of them. I would not mind it so much, if they were being advertised for what they are, not for what they could potentially be, if only another half a trillion dollar were invested in data-centers. It is not going to happen with this technology, the issue is structural, not resource-related.
