What are you on about? There are AI driven chat bots. When they aren’t used it’s not because they might say something offensive. General AI is not here by any definition or redefinition of General AI. We are not fragile.

AI driven chat bots are routinely deployed, yes. But it's also true that at least one bot generated content that spooked its owner:

"The AI chatbot Tay is a machine learning project, designed for human engagement. As it learns, some of its responses are inappropriate and indicative of the types of interactions some people are having with it. We're making some adjustments to Tay." (Microsoft statement)

This is because Twitter users, some coordinated on 4chan's /pol/ board, decided to train the bot on extreme racist input:

I mean we're very fragile, which is why if we had General AI we shouldn't release it at all, but that's of course not what OP was saying lol.
General AI is not here: https://openai.com/blog/image-gpt/ lol
This type of snarky tone isn't that constructive and doesn't add to debate.

That being said, I don't see how the existence of image-gpt supports the notion that GeneralAI exists. Image-gpt couldn't (for example) write the next version of itself.
