#2How would they know? We don't have general AI but it's written as if they already know what it will be, how safe it will be, etc.
I think it's an important topic to discuss and consider, but this seems to be speaking with more knowledge and authority than seems reasonable to me.

#3The biggest risk of ai can be simply characterized by one concept:
This very report could have been generated by AI. We can’t fully tell.

From looking at the summary, I think it's a bit more measured than this statement implies. They talk about concrete risks of spam, scams, and deepfakes. They then go into possible future harms but couched in language of "experts are uncertain if this is possible or likely" etc.

#5"At a time of unprecedented progress in AI development, this first publication restricts its focus to
a type of AI that has advanced particularly rapidly in recent years: General-purpose AI, or AI that
can perform a wide variety of tasks"
Is "general-purpose AI" supposed to be something different from "AGI" or from "General Artificial Intelligence"? Or is it yet another ambiguous ill-defined term that means something different to every person? How many terms do we need?
It's funny that they claim that "general purpose AI" has "advanced particularly rapidly" even though they didn't, nor can't, define what it even is. They have a glossary of terms at the end, but don't bother to have an entry to define general purpose AI, which the entire report is about. They closest thing they include for defining the term is "AI that can perform a wide variety of tasks".

I believe by “general-purpose AI” the report doesn’t mean AGI.

So what if it was generated by AI? Does that invalidate its contents in any way?

Sure you can. You simply email one of the listed authors and ask them if the document is legit.

I'm confused about what you are missing. You are quoting their definition. "General-purpose AI, or AI that can perform a wide variety of tasks". That's their definition. You might not like it but that is a definition.
