Simply expanding large language models is not sufficient for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). AGI requires not just understanding and generating text but also comprehending and interacting dynamically with the real world. Current language models lack understanding of physical interactions and causal relationships which are critical for true intelligence.

Robots, no matter how advanced, are machines created and programmed by humans. They lack consciousness and self-awareness, making it unnecessary to grant them the same rights as humans. Our focus should be on how these technologies can serve humanity ethically and effectively.
