This is nonsense. An AI can no more copy its own code to a server than you or I can.

I don't know why you got voted down. I am also skeptical about this bold claim because AI models are just complex mathematical functions/software and they do not have the capability to access, modify, or control computer systems or networks. It's most likely marketing fluff.

LLM's do "understand" how they're built though, and can plausibly set up a system which will aim to train up a new LLM with the original directive in place. To think of them as human is a mistake but so to is thinking of them as dumb.

AI models are just complex mathematical functions/software and they do not have the capability to access, modify, or control computer systems or networks. There are technical boundaries and I doubt the team at OpenAI just let the AI have full control. This gets filed under marketing fluff.
