That’s true in a somewhat abstract way, but I just don’t see any evidence of the claim that it is just around the corner. I don’t see what currently existing technology can facilitate it. Faster-than-light travel could also theoretically be just around the corner, but it would surprise me if it was, because we just don’t have the technology.
On the other hand, the people who push the claim that AGI is just around the corner usually have huge vested interests.

I think the argument is we’re not remotely close when considering the specific techniques used by current generation of AI tools. Of course people can make new discovery any day and achieve AGI but it’s a different discussion.
