For the main one in this post, I'm going to admit I didn't read the paper after the point where I saw it was looking at only old models. For the one by the guy who integrated GPT-4 into Bing, the idea I got was that they were coyly avoiding putting GPT-4 into a loop, so that they could give an 'out' to people who wanted to argue that it's not yet human level. They already did that in a few other ways. One way was by dumbing it down before release, another way was by delaying its release by six months, and another way was by changing their article title from 'first contact with AGI' to 'sparks of AGI'. They don't want to antagonize people by announcing AGI because it will only cause unnecessary arguments that they don't want to have.
