Artificial general intelligence is still years away and far from the breakthroughs some tech leaders predict, former Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) senior director of AI and OpenAI founding member Andrej Karpathy said.
“We’re at this intermediate stage,” he told host Dwarkesh Patel on the “Dwarkesh Podcast” in October. “The models are amazing. They still need a lot of work.”
Karpathy said the rapid growth of large language models has created unrealistic expectations. “Overall, the models are not there,” he said. “I feel like the industry is making too big of a jump and is trying to pretend like this is amazing, and it’s not.”

He said some companies promote “AI agents” — systems that write code, search the web, or complete office tasks — as if they are truly autonomous. He told Patel such systems still lack reliability and genuine understanding.
His view contrasts sharply with that of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who told German newspaper Die Welt in Berlin in September that he would be “very surprised” if by 2030 the world didn’t have “extraordinarily capable models that do things that we ourselves cannot do.”
Karpathy said in the podcast AI still struggles with structured reasoning, long-term memory, and safety. He said that many demonstrations show narrow skills rather than true general intelligence.
“I’m very unimpressed by demos,” Karpathy said. “Whenever I see demos of anything, I’m extremely unimpressed by that.” He said that polished demonstrations rarely capture real-world complexity.

He called his outlook “five to 10 times pessimistic” compared with public forecasts but said a decade-long path should still be considered optimistic. “Ten years should otherwise be a very bullish timeline for AGI,” he wrote later on X.
The contrast in timelines underscores how divided the tech world remains over AI’s progress. Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote on X last month that his company’s upcoming model, Grok 5, “will be AGI or something indistinguishable from AGI,” adding that there’s a “10% chance of achieving AGI and rising.”
