Superintelligence — a hypothetical form of AI that surpasses human intelligence — has become a buzzword in the AI race between giants like Meta and OpenAI.

Thank you MSNBC for doing the bare minimum and reminding people that this is hypothetical (read: science fiction)

    ChatGPT would have been science fiction 5 years ago. We are already living in science fiction times, friend.

    Artificial intelligence has been something people have been sounding the alarm about since the 50s. We call it AGI now, since "AI" got ruined by marketers 60 years later.

    We won't get there with transformer models, so what exactly do the people promoting them actually propose? It just makes the Big Tech companies look like they have a better product than they do.
