I'm glad that we could come to see eye to eye on this one. Though, I personally didn't find the article to be spreading the "AGI is here!" type of hype. They even said that the Turing test is considered outdated in the article. The article did hype me up, but more in a "holy shit let's see what sort of capabilities it'll have" type of way, and these models can be used to help on all sorts of projects, so they have utility.

I personally slightly disagree with those timelines, but since you said that it's your opinion, I don't have any issues with that. Of course, we could go into actually discussing our personal opinions, but that would be a bit steering away from the purpose of my original comment, so I think that we can leave it at that. Cheers!
