Isn't that how most innovations occur? Nuclear fission wasn't thought to be possible until it was (where we created Barium out of Uranium and had no idea why). Nuclear fission was an unexpected accidental result. Likewise it's theoretically possible to harness nuclear fusion as a viable energy source but we have not discovered how yet.
We already know that achieving AGI with consciousness is theoretically possible, at least to our understanding of what consciousness means. We don't necessarily know what the end result will be, but we are ever so closer to what we believe the end result may look like. LLMs are the closest thing we have ever built to what AGI may look like. Computing power is currently our biggest limitation to achieving the theoretical. Advancement of GPUs and the discovery that GPUs would significantly accelerate training was a huge step towards the theoretical.
Eventually we will figure it out.
