Elon Musk claims that AI, specifically artificial general intelligence (AGI), is more profound than his Tesla FSD software.
He shared this belief of his after Twitter user Teslaconomics explained why FSD is the "most important, consequential software of our lifetime."
Not as profound as AGI, but certainly profound

"Not as profound as AGI, but certainly profound," said the tech executive via his official Twitter reply. Elon Musk's reply to Teslaconomics generated over 300,000 views, 2,500 likes, and 160 retweets.
Elon Musk Claims AI is More Profound Than Tesla FSD Software
According to Business Insider's latest report, numerous advocates claim that AGI models in the future could be as powerful as the human brain.
This could be why Musk believes that his Tesla FSD software is still less profound than general AI.
Ever since ChatGPT and other advanced artificial intelligence models arrived, AGI became a very hot topic in the tech industry.

Google, OpenAI, and other giant tech firms are accelerating their AI development efforts in hopes of creating artificial intelligence systems that can think and understand how humans do.
Difference Between AI and AGI
Forbes explained that AGI is a more specific branch of AI. Although AGI and AI are quite similar to each other, they still have noticeable differences.
Artificial intelligence is a technology based on human cognition. This means that it can conduct tasks that can also be performed by people.
In short, AI is specifically designed to make human tasks easier and faster.
Meanwhile, artificial general intelligence is based on human intellectual ability. This is why it is usually called "strict/strong AI."
Many experts claimed that future AGI models could be as equally smart as humans. This means that it can make decisions and conclusions that are similar to the ones made by real people.
As of writing, there are now real AGI systems available in the tech industry. But, with the AI development acceleration seen in the sector, there's a chance that people will soon see an AGI innovation. You can click this link to learn more about artificial general intelligence.
