OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has a lofty and vague vision of building an 'artificial general intelligence' (AGI) that can benefit humanity. He described AGI as a 'magic intelligence in the sky,' implying that his company is building a God-like entity. Altman and other AI experts invoke the language of creating conscious machines and digital gods. Altman still lacks specifics about AGI but plans to ask for more investment from Microsoft. The future of AGI and its impact on society remains uncertain and expensive.
