I'll fulfill my usual obligation to be pessimistic about technological progress.

We don't have any idea how the brain works beyond some very rudimentary facts. How are we going to create AGI if we can't figure ourselves out?

I expect we'll eventually get extremely valuable AI tools, and have some useful stuff already, but AGI is quite a distance off.

AI is incapable of generating meaning, thank god.
