Once again the people at OpenAI push forward more of their aggrandizing and self-serving bullshit for the sake of regulatory capture with clueless politicians and the wider public. You can translate the word "oversight" as "help us hammer down our potential competition with convenient regulations". No the half baked shit-show of GPT is not anywhere near a threat to human society and much less so being close to AGI. It barely works well at its most basic "serious" tasks and so far, after a bit of back and forth about its usefulness, has been shown to be mostly good for helping at moderate organizational tasks, and SEO content sludge of a kind that used to be handled by third world content farm writers. Even for serious content writing that needs to be more or less correct, many people refuse to use it. For programming, likewise. And this is going to be an "advanced AI danger"? Nope. On a partial side note, "misinformation" and manipulation been with us since long before AI or the internet. If anything both were previously worse and more difficult to fight than today when free access to so much information also at least lets good sources be just as accessible as the garbage. And much of the worst misinformation throughout history has come from the very governments and large businesses that are now harping again about its dangers, with a sidelong look towards how they can again better control what people say, hear, watch or read.
