Comment on This page in my kid’s book from school to learn how to read.

Not deep intimate relationships, but simple things like maintaining conversations with people. You wouldn’t need much more software on top of the LLM to make a really functional person.

I have to disagree about that last sentence. Augmenting LLMs to have any remotely person-like attributes is far from trivial.
The current thought in the field about this centers around so-called “Objective Driven AI”:

arxiv.org/abs/2308.10135
in which strategies are proposed to decouple the AI’s internal “world model” from its language capabilities, to facilitate hierarchical planning and mitigate hallucination.
The latter half of this talk by Yann LeCun addresses this topic too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd0JmT6rYcI
It’s very much an emerging and open-ended field with more questions than answers.
