Many of these comments dismiss it as Microsoft hyping itself for marketing reasons. But I feel like it's the opposite, where these guys at Microsoft know they have discovered an actual path to super human cognition, and they are downplaying it for whatever reason. Maybe they don't want to get regulated. Maybe they don't want to engage with whatever beliefs people think they have about "AGI". For example maybe they are picking their battles and choosing not to argue with someone who for whatever reason thinks that if "AGI is real" then it means they will never see their dead grandmother in an afterlife. Probably lots of people have even weirder ideas about it. Anyway I thought it was funny that the original commented-out title in the TeX source for their paper was "First Contact With an AGI System."
