It’s fun to say that artificial intelligence is fake and sucks — but evidence is mounting that it’s real and dangerous

At the moment, no one knows for sure whether the large language models that are now under development will achieve superintelligence and transform the world.

I think that's pretty much settled by now. Yes, it will transform the world. And no, the current LLMs won't ever achieve superintelligence. They have some severe limitations by design. And even worse, we're already putting in more and more data and compute into training, for less and less gain. It seems we could approach a limit soon. I'd say it's ruled out that the current approach will extend to human-level or even superintelligence territory.

Is super-intellignence smarter than all humans? I think where we stand now, LLMs are already smarter than the average human while lagging behind experts w/ specialized knowledge, no?

Isn't super intelligent more the ability to think so far beyond human limitations that it might as well be magic. The classic example being inventing faster than light drive.

Simply being very intelligent makes it more of an expert system than a super intelligence.
