François Chollet argues about the Impossibility of an Intelligence Explosion. It is a strong article with the exception of the conclusion. Chollet is accurate in describing the many of the obstacles that we expect to encounter in creating an advanced artificial general intelligence (AGI). These obstacles are as follows ( I use my own categorization, but its mapping with Chollet's should be straightforward): The flaw in Chollet's article is that he believes the pace to be linear. There is little evidence that this is true.
