Unlike your other posts in this series, the combination of repeatedly quoting GPT-4, in addition to the nuclear astrophysicist's example, has me feeling that your assertion of insight being a long way off for AI has a "whistling past the graveyard" feel to it. Logically, reading your post, I see that isn't the case-- I understand your arguments and why GPT-5 or equivalents will very likely lack what is needed to generate any real insights (long term memory, etc.)-- but somehow the whole post makes me feel like I'm reading what the Romans said to each other in explaining why the Huns were certainly not powerful or organized enough to sack Rome anytime soon. An irrational response, I grant you, but there it is.
