          Thanks! I don’t know what you mean by your first paragraph.

          You’re right that it’s not near being an AGI. But it doesn’t need to be to be used in a robot form and perform some useful tasks.

          Right now I can ask chatgpt to take a block of code in Ruby and output the equivalent in Python, and it will do it, and for the most part it’s correct.

          I could envision telling an AI robot to sort this pile of parts by type, or pick up all the sticks in the yard, etc. I think we could make something like that now without any significant technological breakthroughs. It might get stuff wrong sometimes, but I envision it as having an intern, not creating a new god. Of course these companies may promise much more in their marketing.
