The Fallacy of Artificial General Intelligence: Microsoft's Recognition of the Limits of LLMs

  Microsoft released a research work last week [1] that claims that GPT-4 capabilities can be viewed as an early version of Artificial General Intelligence. The authors states that " the breadth and depth of GPT -4's capabilities, we believe that it could reasonably be viewed as an early (yet still incomplete) version of an artificial general intelligence (AGI) system.

However, it is difficult for a web user to distinguish these certificates as the web browsers have decided to remove all the visual indicators for EV certificates. We have built a new tool called statcert that allows us to know the type of X.50
