We read OpenAI's risk study. GPT-4 is not toxic ... if you add enough bleach

Re: Not so smart

> If Chat GPT4 is as smart and can do all the things the ads that keep popping up on my social media feeds claim, why hasn’t it written Chat GPT5 yet?

Basically, it's doing exactly that as we speak, but it takes time, energy and data.

It's not the "writing the code" that takes the time. It's slurping up, "cleaning" and crunching all of _your_ data, using vast amounts of energy and pumping out about a million tons of CO2 in the process.

I believe Microsoft (and their machines) started working on GPT-5 just before GPT-4 was released, i.e. GPT-5 is currently assimilating all of the queries and responses from GPT-4, along with your Office files (probably), your computer code that you wrote with the help of CoPilot, and anything you have said on Teams, LinkedIn, and publicly accessible webforums like The Register since then..
