There's no evidence this will be the case...

I'm starting to think people who build these models are more likely to suffer from AI psychosis.

What would you consider such evidence to look like?

Well for starters the calendar year would have to be 2027 CE at the very earliest.

For one, these models should be able to understand the physical world via images, audio, and video. I do agree that current models are quite good at coding, but that's mainly because coding is entirely text-based and easily verifiable. It's not obvious that this capability will transfer to other domains that aren't text-based and aren't as easily verifiable.
