Is OpenAI Racing Towards an AI Apocalypse or a Brighter Future?

OpenAI has announced the training of its new AI model, set to surpass the capabilities of GPT-4, the technology behind ChatGPT. This move aims to advance artificial general intelligence (AGI), where machines can perform any task a human can.
