>If we can make something that appears to be able to mimic human responses, isn't that AGI in practice even if it's not in principle? for the purposes of safety, no, absolutely not. the concern is that humans build an AI capable of improving itself, leading to a runaway cycle of rapid advancement beyond the realm of human capabilities. "appearing to mimic human responses" is a long ways off that, and not a "robots take over the world" scale of safety risk.
