🤯 AI doesn’t need to be AGI to cause harm! 🤯 ChatGPT can’t reliably run a timer but it has still been implicated in delusions, suicides, cognitive surrender, mass disinformation, and so much more. A system doesn’t have to be AGI to carry risks. Mythos probably isn’t AGI either (nothing’s really been released), but it clearly can be used as a cyberattacking tool etc* *the commenter below also misunderstands my views. I don’t think pure LLMs will ever be AGI but some approach will be eventually. (And I have always been clear about). (Also hardly anyone is using pure LLMs anymore; almost everyone has quietly moved to what I long urged: neurosymbolic AI, in which symbolic tools complement the weakness of pure LLMs, quietly vindicating what I have argued for 30 years.) @GaryMarcus Please. If AI isn’t going to AGI (as you claim), then stop the damn fear mongering.
