”I think GPT-5 is the closest to AGI we’ve ever been”
Sorry, but this sounds like overly sensational marketing speak and just leaves a bad taste in the mouth for me.
- Aurornis 1y agoI found a Hacker News thread via Google a few days ago. One of the top comments was from someone describing their RAG architecture and a certain technique (my search term). The comment boasted that their system was so good it that their team thought they created something close to AGI. Then I noticed the date on the comment: 2023. Technically, every advancement in the space is “the closest to AGI that we’ve ever been”. It’s technically correct, since we’re not moving backward. It’s just not a very meaningful statement.

- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Technically, every advancement in the space is “the closest to AGI that we’ve ever been” By that standard Neolithic tool use was progress to AGI.
- wild_egg 1y agoTechnically correct
- Fargren 1y agoAGI, like AI before it, has been coopted into a marketing term. Most of the time, outside of sci-fi, what people mean when they say AGI is "a profitable LLM". In the words OpenAI: “AGI is defined as highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work”

- dingnuts 1y agoSamA isn't an idiot. When he says AGI he wants you to think of Asimov style AI. Don't run defense for billionaire grifters.
- Fargren 1y agoI was not trying to defend him. I'm very annoyed at how these words are being intentionally abused; they chose to recycle the term rather to create a new one exactly to create this confusion. It's still important to know what the grifters mean.
- martin_a 1y agoSame marketing BS like "the best iPhone ever!". Well, duh, if your new version (of hardware/software) isn't better, what the deal then?
