It's only a very short letter, but it's good. They argue that AGI claims are based on shifting the definition of AGI to something easier to meet, that advocates rely on hitting artificial (gameable) benchmarks rather than dealing with novelty, and that providing answers to questions doesn't mean they're doing cognition as we'd normally understand it, especially as LLMs don't express doubt (they don't say this, but I'll add: this is because they can't do metacognition: they can't think about their own thought processes, as we can)

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Could you share the text, since it's so short?
I'd rather not - we're then into copyright issues

Thanks! I think that's it.
