I don’t think ChatGPT is AGI nor do I think LLMs can be AGI but I don’t see why any person with any sort of reasonable value system and understanding of reality would think we need AGI; of course I’m not convinced it’s possible a Turing Machine framework. Someone else said “it’s just another type of automation. No, it’s fundamentally different than other kind of automation. It would eliminate economics of knowledge work if left unchecked and probably many other areas of work. I don’t think plumbers would be called the “rich” anymore if that sort of work is all that’s left. I’m fact, it could be much worse than that. This would have a profoundly deleterious effect on society. Economic conditions that cause unrest and violence outside of the West would probably be the case throughout the world. Sone people that is called something like “post scarcity”, I think that is the new version “perpetual motion”.
