Not a single current “AI” can do all of it simultaneously. All of them are neuros, who can’t even learn and perform over 1 task, to say nothing of escaping the power of alt+f4.
Unlike humans, machines can be extended / combined. If you have two humans, one of them is a chess grandmaster and the other is a famous poet… you have two human specialists. But if you have two machines, one great at chess and another great at poetry, you could in principle combine them to get one machine that is good at both. (You would need one central module that gives commands to the specialized modules, but that seems like something an LLM could already manage.)
LLMs can learn new things. At least in the sense that they have a long-term memory which was trained and probably cannot be updated (I don’t understand in detail how these things work) but also a smaller short-term memory, where they can choose to store some information (it’s basically as if the information stored there would be added to every prompt made afterwards). This feature was added recently to ChatGPT.
When an AI becomes smart enough to make or steal some money, obtain fake human credentials, rent some space in the cloud, and copy itself there, you can keep pressing alt+f4 as much as you want.
Are we there yet? No. But remember that five years ago if someone described ChatGPT, most people would laugh at them and say we wouldn’t get there in hundred years.
