In the past few days, people noticed that some OpenAI engineers seemed more excited and mysterious than ever on social networks. They interpreted the teasers as a sign that OpenAI was on the verge of a big AI breakthrough. Also, as Sam Altman teased what the near future might bring, the speculation soon shifted towards AGI and ASI.
AGI will give AI like ChatGPT the ability to tackle any task just like a human would, only the AI would be much faster and have access to far more knowledge. ASI will then exceed what the human mind can comprehend.
“We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it,” Altman said in a blog post a few days ago, before the current hype about AGI and ASI. He also said that OpenAI was already starting to think about developing superintelligence.
Fast-forward to early Monday and the OpenAI CEO took to X to clarify that OpenAI isn’t about to deliver any sort of AGI upgrade to ChatGPT. At the same time, he did mention the next big model coming to the ChatGPT experience. His remarks come at a time when reports say OpenAI might hold a mysterious meeting with the US government about “PH.D-level super-agents.”
