That mathematically showed how all these LLM AIs will at the most be about half as smart as the average person, because they are trained on huge sets of data produced by people of all levels of intelligence, which of course are mostly average so that what gets the most weighting in the AI model. Plus the models are far from perfect so they can only get halfway to that average level.

So all the billionaires claiming these AIs are eventually going to achieve super-intelligence and surpass and replace humans are full of it.
