But because I know for a fact that single-model intelligence will never be enough. If AGI ever emerges and that’s still an open question it won’t come from a bigger model. It’ll come from the orchestration of thought.

THIS! Thank you 🙌

Yes, I'm a huge supporter of AI adoption, but you're 100% right. There's some major misconceptions around the concept as a whole and especially what it's really capable of doing, given it's current state.

Not only is this well written, but it's an innovative approach I haven't heard of before, which is exciting in itself (and given me some ideas on how to incorporate the topic in my own writings in the future).

Can't wait to see more of your work! 💕

Quick confession:
1 - The ideas are all mine...but... being honest DeepSeek just helped me organise the wording.
2 - What sounds “innovative” is really a throwback to Marvin Minsky’s 1950s vision: lots of small agents working together. Somewhere along the way we fixated on purely statistical models, and that’s why today’s LLMs, impressive as they are, still aren’t true intelligence.
I just try to treat them as sharp little tools that plug into a larger, genuinely intelligent system.

That’s why that AGI-hype chart makes me flinch. Excitement is fine, but someone has to call things as they are.

🤣 Oh, I agree with you completely! It baffles me sometimes, really...
