At the end of November 2022, a new bot was launched under the obviously stupid and unsexy name: ChatGPT. At OpenAI they didn't believe it would succeed, but not only did it succeed, it became a sensation that was the opening blow to the artificial intelligence revolution. A little over two years have passed and the GPT era is about to pass from the world. A new family of bots is making its way to us and it works differently from the family we've known so far. It's slower but smarter, it's narrower but more frightening, it's more similar to the way we think and mainly it brings us, apparently significantly, closer to that moment everyone is waiting for and also fears, the moment called AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, the moment when machines will know how to do everything we do and maybe even to super-artificial intelligence, a state where machines will know how to do everything better than us. What's so different about this family? Why is it so exciting but also so frightening? Why does OpenAI refuse to explain exactly how it works and how is it that we probably know how it works anyway? Why are these systems so smart but could it be that because they're so smart, they're also so deceptive and how is all this connected to the Chinese company DeepSeek that brought down Wall Street?
