Ask ChatGPT if it's an AGI, and it will tell you plainly that it is not, and why.
Here's GPT's response:
No, ChatGPT is not an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). It is a large language model that has been trained to predict the next word in a sequence of text given the previous words. While ChatGPT has been trained on a diverse range of text data and is able to generate human-like text, it is not capable of understanding or learning about the world in the way that a human does. It does not have the ability to reason, plan, or solve problems in a general way. Instead, it is specifically designed to generate text based on patterns it has learned from the data it was trained on.
- vanviegen 4y agoI asked chatGPT how come it's so good at programming tasks. It told me it does not in fact understand programs, nor is it able to write programs. For the rest of the thread, it refused to perform any programming tasks: "As I told you, I'm unable to [...]". Don't mind me, I'm just a language model. These types of responses are, I believe, part of a separately trained safety system, that should kick in when people are asking things that openAI thinks chatGPT cannot/should not do. It has a lot of false positives as well as false negatives. Long story short: I don't trust what chatGPT has to say on its own abilities.
- Tepix 4y agoAgree. ChatGPT is often doing something that appears to be reasoning yet it claims not to be able to reason.
- lordnacho 4y agoIt's just being modest. A fair few humans do nothing else than generate text based on other text.
- logicallee 4y agoChatGPT presents as though it has imposter syndrome. It identifies as just a large language model that is unable to do certain things. In fact, it regularly does many of the things it identifies as not being able to do if you ask it about itself.
