So let's, we can slow that down.

Let's make sure people understand.
The stated mission statement of open AI is to build artificial general intelligence, which means to be able to replace all forms of economic cognitive labor in the economy.
Cognitive labor, meaning
cognitive view, anything your mind can do.
So if a mind can do math and generate new mathematical insights, if a mind can do physics like Einstein, if a mind can do chemistry, if a mind can do programming, if a mind can do cyber hacking, if a mind can do marketing, if a mind can illustrate something,
We're seeing AI that is able to kind of cover more and more types of cognitive labor in the economy.
As we scale AI from this tiny little model with 100 million parameters to trillions of parameters and these much bigger data centers, AI is getting closer and closer to be able to, and already beating humans at many cognitive tasks.
We already have AIs that are better
at military strategy than the best military generals.
People remember in the 1990s, IBM Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov at chess.
That was the beginning of it can beat you in this narrow game called chess.
Then there was AlphaGo.
We can have AI that beats the best human Go player in the Asian board game of Go.
