So find a single architecture that can be taught to be an electrical engineer or a doctor.

Where today those are being done, but specialized architectures, models, combination of methods.

Then that would be a 'general' intelligence, the one type of model that can do either. Trained to be an engineer or doctor. And like a human once trained, they might not do the other job well. But they did both start with same 'tech', like humans all have the same architecture in the 'brain'.

I don't think it will be an LLM, it will be some combo of methods in use today.

Ok. I'll buy that. I'm not sure everyone is using 'general' in that way. I think more-often people think a single AI instance that can do everything/everywhere/all at once. Be an engineer and doctor at same time. Since it can do all the tasks at same time, it is 'general'. Since we are making AI's that can do everything, could have a case statement inside to switch models, half joking. At some point all the different AI methods will be incorporated together and will appear even more human/general.



Right, but even at that point the sceptics will still stay that it isn't "truly general" or unable to do X in the same way a human does. Intelligence like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
