What expert believed they could pump out an actual AGI? The article doesn't mention ayone with that belief.

Given that juxtaposition, it's no wonder even some experts were willing to believe the partying prototypes on display were operating largely on their own.

"Fooled me," Deepwater Asset Management Managing Partner Gene Munster admitted on social media after hearing reports of Optimus' teleoperation. That admission came just hours after Munster posted about how the event was "just the start of mega AI use cases."

Well technically not expert in robotic and tech, but still.

I think you're misunderstanding what AGI is.

A robot operating on its own does not mean that it has the achieved the ability to think for itself and reason at (or beyond) human levels.

It doesn't sound like anyone here was thinking that AGI had been achieved.

Hmm, thats true about AGI.
