Hasn’t Altman even said he believes AGI, artificial general intelligence, a supercomputer that in theory would match or exceed the intelligence of a human being

Hey, just thinking out loud here...we already have really intelligent human beyin real life. They are already working on solving human caused climate change.
Why do I need a computer as smart as a human? We already humans. A lot of them. And a fair amounts are pretty damn smart. Some are really, really smart.
I'm in IT and I absolutely hate Al and everything about it.
