I don’t think it’s accurate to say Tesla is developing an AGI. I mean, the point of the project is to get a computer to drive a vehicle, not interpret French literature, which means the “AI” will be pretty “specialized,” which is kind of counter to the “general” in AGI.
So maybe they’re developing an “ASI.” But because there are already plenty of those and we call them “AI,” we might just say Elon’s trying for a harder, higher scale, and more commercialized version of a set of technologies that already exist. Kind of like all the other “impossible” things people mocked him for missing deadlines on in the past. And now, we’ve arrived at the point.
