"But are we really approaching a point where machines are able to compete with us on an intellectual level? In their new paper, the Stanford researchers argue that any seemingly emergent abilities of LLMs may just be "mirages" borne out of inherently flawed metrics."
"The term AGI has been thrown around a lot in recent months, including by those who have a lot to gain financially as a result of doing just that...
"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, for instance, has talked about the topic at length, but has been criticized by others in the industry for transforming the loaded term into a "sci-fi marketing ploy.""
"If there's one thing to take away, it's that we should take claims of AGI with a big grain of salt. Check for any discontinuous metrics if you feel so inclined, & while you're at it, you might want to take a quick peek at who, exactly, the people making these claims work for."
