The ultimate irony if it goes this way. The singularity is inherently impossible, instead of an exponential explosion of machine intelligence, there is an exponential implosion.

You know that’s a very interesting perspective. This way, artificial intelligence might find an equilibrium point and going past that could turn out to be really difficult. As far as LLMs are concerned, we might reach that point very soon. However, if you combine several different types of models to make something that can think before speaking, then we’re once again exploring uncharted territory.

True, and an interesting idea. I wonder though if this will show long term that pure computational methods cannot produce sentience at the level of human beings. I still wonder where AI would be now if analog and fuzzy computing had taken off in the 1950's instead of digital/binary computing.
