From the article: Major tech players have spent the last few years betting that simply throwing more computing power at AI will lead to artificial general intelligence (AGI) – systems that match or surpass human cognition. But a recent survey of AI researchers suggests growing skepticism that endlessly scaling up current approaches is the right path forward.
A recent survey of 475 AI researchers reveals that 76% believe adding more computing power and data to current AI models is “unlikely” or “very unlikely” to lead to AGI.
The survey, conducted by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), reveals a growing skepticism. Despite billions poured into building massive data centers and training ever-larger generative models, researchers argue that the returns on these investments are diminishing.
Stuart Russell, a computer scientist at UC Berkeley and a contributor to the report, told New Scientist: “The vast investments in scaling, unaccompanied by any comparable efforts to understand what was going on, always seemed to me to be misplaced.”

I would say that the current ai is good enough to justify the investment, and while they try to improve hopefully they’ll make enough architecture leaps to put the additional capacity to good use

Tired of these types of articles. No one is focusing on just compute as the only vector for improving AI models. Every major improvement in recent years has been driven by architectural innovations

I’m sure companies are burning billions trying to create different architectures for ai’s than the ones we use today.

Yes, you can’t code AGI. Coding (or LLMs or whatever) requires humans to create everything they can do. While they can extrapolate a bit, it is still humans that created that capability.
Humans cannot create AGI…. well, we can through procreation, lol.
I’d look into the companies mixing tech with organic cells though, as that’ll be where the next revolution with technology comes from in regards to AI. Only way to have AGI, is by something literally being alive.
