OpenAI's Head Of Codex Says The Bottleneck To AGI Is Humanity's Inability To Type Fast Enough
AGI Development Hits Unexpected Roadblock: Human Typing OpenAI’s push toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) is racing ahead, but one surprising obstacle is slowing progress: human typing speed. Alexander Embiricos, head of Codex at OpenAI, revealed on Lenny’s Podcast that humans themselves may be the bottleneck in achieving AGI. As AI systems become increasingly capable, the pace of human input—writing prompts, validating AI outputs—cannot keep up, potentially limiting breakthroughs in AI reasoning. Credit: Google AGI represents the next frontier in AI technology, a system that can understand, learn, and reason at or beyond human-level capabilities. Major AI companies are competing to achieve it first, but Embiricos believes that humans are currently the limiting factor, not the machines. Why Typing Speed Matters for AI Progress At the heart of the problem is the way humans interact with AI. Most advanced AI systems, including OpenAI’s Codex, rely on users to provide prompts, review…
