I reject completely the concepts of 'artificial intelligence' and 'emergence'. So I'm not particularly interested in distinctions between weak or strong 'emergence' or the distinction one sometimes sees between 'AI' and 'AGI'. For me it is all magical thinking.
That's not to say I don't credit that machine learning is possible, it obviously is and is a very powerful technology that will have a tremendous and society changing impact. And LLMs are also powerful tools, along with other machine analysis & generation tools.
IOW, I think the language here is important (eg Machine Learning vs 'AI') as it helps to avoid succumbing to what I call 'Science Fiction brain'.
