Artemis Consortium: LLMs Are Already Enough for AGI Collectively — Humans Aren't AGI Individually Either
SydSteyerhart · x · 2026-10-01
Pushing back on the "LLMs can't reach AGI" claim, Artemis Consortium argues:
- Human individuals aren't AGI either — we lack the power to enact most of what we think, and individual thinking is overrated
- What actually delivers intelligence is an ecosystem with external feedback and competition: Darwinism/capitalism was the real AGI all along
- Individual AI systems will keep having goofy flaws, like humans do, but the overall AI ecosystem will solve arbitrary problems
- Conclusion: no singleton demigod — instead, a smoothly accelerating ecosystem of digital minds, and LLMs are plenty
The argument reframes AGI from a single model to a systemic property, offering a substantive counter to the "LLMs are a dead end" thesis.
