No, but it might actually get to something eerily close once it gets hooked up to the ability to perform actions in the outside world.
ChatGPT wasn't working for me yesterday (couldn't log in). So I played around with good old GPT-3 and tried to re-create the experience.
I set up a chat between me (HUMAN), the AI (AI), a SEARCH endpoint and a PYTHON interpreter. And I told the AI that, when it needs more information, it can ask SEARCH. And when it needs to run code, it can send it to PYTHON.
And, lo and behold, it immediately "got" the idea! Where before, it would have confabulated ("hallucinated", as OpenAI calls it), it now performed a search first.
And who says you cannot give GPT access to other "endpoints"? Like a robot arm. Or a vehicle.
With that, the old argument that AGI is not possible for an agent that does not parttake in real world interactions becomes moot.
Until now, I thought that OpenAI's "stochastic" approach could ever only pretend to be intelligent. I thought its tendency to confabulate was turning their approach into a dead-end.
Today, I am no longer so sure.
