Yes, I've used GPT-4 as you described. None of that supports your point. There is no reason to think AGI is near. You're just making things up and clearly don't understand the basics of how this stuff works.

I know about the architecture and the inner workings of GPT-2 and GPT-3 models, as well as the math of transformers. No one outside of OpenAI knows exactly how GPT-4 works.

And I have not been talking about the risk of GPT-4 but later models which could use a different architecture.

I have also taught people to code and solve challenge math problems.

(It seems you are so confident you know more about AI and human cognition than pretty much anyone among the 1000+ people who signed the petition, including 2 Turing Award winners, >10 AAAI Fellows, as well as many engineers and avid practitioners.)

I hope you’ll notice how similar the behaviors of some cognitive mechanisms of these models are to human cognition.

An airplane can fly, just with a different manner & using different mechanisms from a bird.

Are you 100% confident we will not have AGI in the next 5-10 years. What would you bet on that?

I’ll stop here.
