Programmer: LLMs only solved 30% of the PB&J problem; AGI is fantasy

Programmer StewartalsopIII tweets about LLM limitations. Using the 'write instructions for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich' example, he argues that programming requires deep contextual understanding, and LLMs have only solved 30% of the problem. The remaining 70% is unlikely to be solved due to reality's complexity and evolutionary history. He doubts we'll reach fantasy AGI and says frontier models don't solve communication issues.
