No one can tell whether AGI in the form of something akin to biological brains will happen. How will we build something we can't comprehend the architecture of?

Also, I think their point was not that AGI will never happen, it's more that it doesn't matter whether it happens or not, because AI/AGI will not solve our problems (well, it will solve some, but create so many more that in the end we've really achieved nothing).

I think we are further from AGI than people think. I doubt I will live to see it.

    This exactly. AGI can never solve people problems because those problems are inherent to people. Social problems, for example, don't magically disappear because you have a magic box that does everything.

    I think we are further from AGI than people think. I doubt I will live to see it.

    I would go far enough as to say that most people alive, if not all, definitely won't see AGI in their lifetime. That's of course besides the point, but still...
