I agree with all of that. Even being sceptical that LLMs plus search will reach AGI. The lack of constraint satisfaction as the human brain does it could be a real stumbling block.
But LLMs have copied a good bit of our reasoning and therefore our semantic search. So they can do something like constraint satisfaction.
Put the constraints into a query, and the answer will satisfy those constraints. The process used is different than a human brain, but for every problem I can think of, the results are the same.
Now, that’s partly because every problem I can think of is one I’ve already seen solved. But my ability to do truly novel problem solving is rarely used and pretty limitted. So I’m not sure the LLM can’t do just as good a job if it had a scaffolded script to explore its knowledge base from a few different angles.
