How would that even work? ChatGPT is not a movie AI that lives on a server somewhere and thinks about how to break out and overthrow humans. It is a fairly large set of tensors that are evaluated to guess what the next word in a string is.

@ErikUden Even the lead author himself says that he used AGI in the title of that paper to garner attention. And the authors also clarify that it is really hard to judge the performance of LLMs when you don't know what they were trained on. They work fairly well for some tasks that suggest general understanding of the physical world and fail spectacularly on similar tasks with minimal changes.

"LLMs are AGIs" is PR by companies like OpenAI, not science.
