What was claimed

Warnings from OpenAI and Anthropic on AI safety are self-serving IPO hype; LLMs are not AI and won’t be AGI

Our verdict

Inaccurate

LLMs are a form of artificial intelligence (narrow AI). The statement conflates 'not AGI' with 'not AI,' which is a category error. LLMs are AI systems, just not general intelligence. While some critics (like Michael Burry) have made this argument, OpenAI delayed its IPO citing safety concerns—contradicting the 'hype' narrative. Anthropic is proceeding with an IPO despite safety warnings, suggesting mixed motives rather than pure hype. (Only 1 of 3 AI systems responded.)

LLMs won't be AGI

Can’t verify65%
While current LLMs fall short of AGI definitions, whether they can become AGI or serve as components of AGI systems remains debated among researchers. The absolute claim overstates certainty in an unsettled field.
