The Limits of AI by Hubert Dreyfus (1985)

Dreyfus lays down the core objections against AGI.

Fjelland, R. (2020). Why general artificial intelligence will not be realized. Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, 7(1), 10.

Compelling and persuasive article against AGI, often elaborating on Dreyfus's ideas.

Heitzinger, C., & Woltran, S. (2024). A Short Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Methods, Success Stories, and Current Limitations. Introduction to Digital Humanism: A Textbook (pp. 135–149). Springer Nature Switzerland.

Excellent and up-to-date broad overview of AI.

Rothman, J. (2023, November 13). Why the Godfather of A.I. Fears What He’s Built. The New Yorker.

Geoffrey Hinton's profile by the New Yorker. Useful read, despite the almost click-bait title.

Müller, V. C. (2023). Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. In E. N. Zalta & U. Nodelman (Eds.), The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Good discussion and future reading directions.

Chomsky, N., Roberts, I., & Watumull, J. (2023, March 8). The False Promise of ChatGPT. The New York Times.

Provocative but thoughtful, as usual from Chomsky.

Chiang, T. (2023, February 9). ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web. The New Yorker.

A neat and well-argued metaphor.
