The very first citation in this stupid letter, https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/, is to our #StochasticParrots Paper,

"AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity, as shown by extensive research[1]"

EXCEPT

that one of the main points we make in the paper is that one of the biggest harms of large language models, is caused by CLAIMING that LLMs have "human-competitive intelligence."

They basically say the opposite of what we say and cite our paper?
The rest of the people they cite in footnote #1 are all longtermists. Again, please read
