I just asked ChatGPT

"With what probability is the George Washington Bridge the final digit of pi?"

and it used MY OPPONENTS' argument that this kind of question is "ill-formed" to justify MY conclusion (on grounds that require NON-VERBAL REASONING) that the answer is "zero".

This idiot database search program obviously is simply copying things that people have said. ELIZA did a more presentable job of it.

I get really sick of hearing about OpenAI and the rest of the LLM crowd making absurd claims about LLMs like ChatGPT being AGI. LLMs are not even close to AGI. If you want to see real research into AGI, watch this video on Chris Eliasmith's Spaun (semantic pointer architecture unified network). It may not look as snazzy and consumer-ready as all these hallucinating LLMs being marketed to us, but this is the real deal: A single system that can do lots of different things the brain does and that LLMs can never do.

@root The closest technologies we have to how the human brain works are not LLMs, but some less well-known ones: reinforcement learning algorithms and hyperdimensional computing. If you want to see what HDC is capable of, check out this video:

Interesting summary of the current AI hype, how it compares with the previous one in the 80s, and whether we are that close to AGI. tl;dr: no.

Including an amusing example where ChatGPT is unable to differentiate a real Monty Hall problem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Ha from lookalikes, and offers the same counter-intuitive solution to all, even if the actual solution is obvious. No logical reasoning at all here. Fine or otherwis.

What some forget is capitalism doesn't want a sentient machine that has rights
They want a machine that does what it is told and in the most inefficient way possible in terms of usage as it harms the environment so they can sell more products to deal with the environment

They want a glorified auto complete that looks sentient enough and make it cheat at flawed sentience tests by purpose building it for that so they can lie about it

The world may well see the development of #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence during Trump’s final term as #president. How many folks think he has the competence to see that regulations ensure that it is safe and not used for nefarious purposes? Likewise, who trusts #Trump to not abuse the US #surveillanceState, which no doubt has become more powerful with advancements in #artificialIntelligence ? #USPolitics #USPol #UnitedStates #Surveillance #USElection #AIRace #AI

...chess and go players. And as we’ve discussed before on #Babbage, they’re tackling some of the biggest challenges in science, like predicting the three dimensional structures of proteins. One of the company’s goals from the outset, though, has been to build a system that would achieve AGI. And recently they’ve been 👉 trying to formalise what that actually means.👈 The...

Das mit der "weiteren Stufe menschlicher Selbstentmündigung" sehe ich durchaus genauso. Da AI sich noch schneller fortentwickelt als die (wohl progressive) Klimaerwärmung, werden viel von uns noch die Möglichkeit haben Distopien a la "I Robot und "#SecondVariety" zu erleben.

Im Übrigen war ich bis vor ein paar Tagen auch anderer Meinung. Die Interviews im 1. Podcast zum Thema AGI des #TheEconomist #BABAGE Podcasts dieses Monats, ließen..

"Ich weiß nicht ob so ein Ding die wahren Gefühle einfangen kann, also können sowieso nicht aber sie erklären und deuten.?…"

Das können #KI|s bislang nicht.*

Der Economist ist jedoch der Meinung, dass wir bei den KI's bereits die 1. Evolutionsstufe einer #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence erreicht haben.

Aus meiner Sicht ist diese präzise hermeneutische Analyse keinesfalls nur das Gefasel eines #StochastischenPapageis.
