OpenAI has already made AGI, but is concerned about releasing it?


The training of GPT-4 was finished in 2021. Ever since then, I think OpenAI made much bigger models on more recent data, but out of fear of public reaction to AGI, the company only released a dumbed down version of it called GPT-4. They don’t even mention what they technically did in their paper.

What fuels this theory is the fact that quickly after the release of GPT-4, tons of projects started using self reflection to boost GPT-4’s capabilities. As an engineer in OpenAI, this looks like a low hanging fruit. I doubt they didn’t already run something like AutoGPT before releasing the model. Maybe they have already achieved AGI and the AGI is recommending them to keep the public in dark.

If they already made AGI all bets are off. Uncle Sam already might be sitting in the boardroom instructing on how to proceed.
