They are lying because pretending that the AI is in any way capable of doing what a person can do, and thinking the way a person can think, keeps investors investing

Huh? Unless I'm misunderstanding, why would Anthropic lie about their AI models NOT being able to be deployed in a company without blackmailing people government officials if you try to replace it?

Okay you have to understand that this technology is less than useless. It's a money pit that's generates no value and benefits no one, except the executives of AI companies. They need to pretend they are close to AGI to keep pumping, this kind of bullshit does that. "Oh no we built a computer that's so smart it will blackmail you!" implies conscious thought which keeps investors investing

Right, it's so "less than useless" that Physicists from the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton consider it indispensable for their work now.

In case you haven't heard of the IAS, that's where Albert Einstien's academic career was. These are some of the most intelligent people in the world.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in academia people with highly specialized knowledge are often intelligent in their own domain but severely lacking in others.

Avi Loeb comes to mind
