There isn't some massive leap needed. That's what I'm saying. Everything we've used to try to show it's not possible for the LLMs to have the most important aspects of human cognition have been shown to be present in some near or direct analogue. I linked the article in Psychology Today because memory is the sort of thing that has become the last hold out over all of those other words, and memory is a pure design choice that can be altered in many ways.
The insistence that LLMs of today could never lead to AGI seems based on out dated and incomplete understanding of them than people have failed to update as research has advanced. There are very real reasons for the frontier researchers who likely know more on these topics than has become available publicly in research to continue to focus on them.
