I get people who said things like that like year ago, but nowadays it's a laughable position. Solving millenium problem means nothing nowadays? Exponential increase in CVE is nothing?
There have been huge advances this year alone, and finally some productive results, but most of the things where AIs are used right now still are a net loss.
AGI can define goalposts that move every time A not-G I achieves a new milestone. That's fine. No matter what acronym you use to define it, artificial intelligence is objectively augmenting humans at the very edge of technology and science.
AI solving the problem it created? Woaow, the future is now!
