That's an incredibly ignorant take.
LLMs are the first glimmer of artificial GENERAL intelligence (AGI). They are the most important invention perhaps of all time.
They will fundamentally change our society, our economy, and they pose an existential threat to mankind, not to mention begging existential questions about our purpose for existing at all in a world where very shortly computers will be able to out-think and out-create us.
Quantum computers are ... neat. They will allow us to solve problems conventional computers can't. They may make current encryption models obsolete ... but I haven't heard any proposed usage of them that would be even a fraction as profound as AGI.
I've been working extensively with gpt4 since it came out, and it ABSOLUTELY is the engine that can power rudimentary AGI. You can supplement it with other tools, and give it a memory... ZERO doubt in my mind that GPT4-powered are AGI.
Biased in what way?
Worse, the majority of the data used by LLMs comes from the internet; a place that often brings out the worst and most polarized sides of us.
Flexing that sci-fi knowledge real hard, my dude.
The AI that you're describing probably won't even be possible (if it even is possible. We don't even fully understand human intelligence/brains yet) until quantum computing is ubiquitous so your whole argument is illogical.
For my own silly sci-fi take, I believe our brains are probably closer to quantum computing than traditional computing.
...What? No, why would that be a requirement? Unless you just mean that QC is easier so it will come first by chance?
I have worked extensively to build out gpt-4 and give it memory and other attributes.
I have no doubt at all that with supplemental modules to expand its context, it's absolutely an AGI.
