It is. Unfortunately, no-one has come up with a viable self teaching system. They are trying to brute force it, but have run into a wall. Without a knowledge engine, you can’t close the loop. Without closing the loop, self reflection is impossible. Without self reflection, hallucination filtering is almost impossible. Such a system can’t understand the difference between a discussion down the pub, and a lawyer’s legal brief. It can see the difference, and mimic it’s structure, but not understand the why, and account for it.
Sounds like AGI isn’t going to happen any time soon when we have obstacles like that. I actually prefer it that way. Humanity isn’t anywhere near responsible or wise enough to wield that sort of power. Things have a tendency to go horribly wrong, and this one can go wrong in the worst way possible.
