I think there are two things being discussed here: 1) alignment as portrayed by OpenAI along with the perception of intelligence from the current SoTA LLMs 2) alignment as a field of study to prevent catastrophe I'm speaking about the latter and I don't think labeling alignment as a total facade is conducive to starting well on the path of developing guiderails for AGI. Thank the universe that it seems LLMs cannot scale to emergent intellect, because that lets us do a dry run. In my opinion, we're currently tanking the current go-around as legislation is ever farther behind while we watch an absolute arms race between nations and corporations.
