Did OpenAI Just Quietly Build AGI?
Despite recent claims by industry leaders like Nvidia's Jensen Huang and OpenAI's Sam Altman suggesting the achievement of AGI, the current AI capabilities are more financially defined rather than cognitively, focusing on economic impact rather than human-like reasoning.
