Instead of pursuing a single, ‘know-it-all’ model like GPT-5, the future of AI might hinge on a network of specialized intelligences. A recent discussion on Reddit’s r/artificialintelligence suggests that focusing on models expert in niche areas – such as SQL writing, bloodwork analysis, or legal brief creation – offers a more practical path toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The key, according to the discussion, lies in developing a sophisticated “router” that can intelligently delegate tasks to the appropriate specialized model. This approach, leveraging a collective of expert systems, may prove more effective than attempting to build one universally knowledgeable AI.
