it should be possible to admit that AGI not only a long way off, but also a lot different to what chatGPT does, without discounting that chatGPT is extraordinarily useful.
the AI bros like to talk about AGI as if it's just the next threshold for LLMs, which discounts the complexity of AGI, but also discounts their own products. we don't need an AGI to be our helpful chatbot assistant. it's fine for that to just be a helpful chatbot assistant.
Honestly, a lot of it seems like it's lazy narcissism. They don't think other people have value or intelligence, therefore this machine that bullshits well has to be equally useful.
