> Think about it for a second: a machine understood your request in plain English and executed it adequately, instantly and free. And the same general purpose publicly available free AI can perform at that level for a very, very wide range of tasks. Even if the general purpose bot is just 'adequate', how long until fine-tuned versions for specific tasks come out, performing at superhuman levels?

Today's software programs are written by humans for humans. We'll rewrite those to be by AI for AI. Craziness is incoming technologically and societally.

  I was thinking recently when reading that OpenAI is piping some of the textual prompts into iPython based on some rules, for example when someone asks for an answer that requires math. I could see ChatGPT piping to "itself" in the background and potentially having specialized AIs that would figure out better prompts from your prompt for example, among other obvious specialised ones like piping to image generation models and so on. You'd obviously also use an AI to choose what to pipe too. I agree with you eventually it'll be AI all the way down.

    Will AGI be one system, or the final boss that controls all the AI subsystems? I think when AGI arrives, there will be so many AI tools out there we won't notice another one. AGI seems like a moving goalpost target that always changes to whatever AI can't do today.

      It’s going to be an ecosystem of intelligence, just like it already is today. The notion of “an intelligence” is going to go away. The singularity is real and AGI is here —but it isn’t like some runaway single agent that self improves and takes over the world. Just wait till it all starts talking to each other, training each other, using each other, all in convergence with humans. It’s very real. And very weird.

        Is there anything to stop them from using other against others? Will they start using humans as a tool too?

        Yeah, once AI gets bank accounts (easy, via people), it can directly hire people. Of course, arguably artificial intelligence is much older than this— and the bylaws of corporations constitute the algorithmic utilization of people.
