I still don't understand how a chat bot could be called or could spawn "AI" let alone "AGI".
I think it's clear we can have ever better machines (which is all these are) and that they could be so sophisticated that they could trick a human into thinking they are intelligent, but they still lack even the very basics of intelligence.
> People naturally try to compare Agent-1 to humans, but it has a very different skill profile. It knows more facts than any human, knows practically every programming language, and can solve well-specified coding problems extremely quickly. On the other hand, Agent-1 is bad at even simple long-horizon tasks, like beating video games it hasn’t played before.
I think that sums it up. It's not going to get magically better at doing things it has never done before. Whereas a hamster or a human can approach a new task and intuit how to complete it. A machine that stamps out square widgets is not going to suddenly stamp out circle widgets. Yes, you can have a second machine that stamps out the parts the first machine would need to make circles, and have a third machine switch out the parts. That's very very efficient, will replace jobs, but it's not intelligence. It's just turtles all the way down.
