My hot take: The commentators in this thread regurgitate the same statements without adjusting for new situations and experiences. Nobody in the thread has any form of general intelligence. Each person is an advanced text processor outputing text after being trained for more than ten years (and frequently as many as twenty years) on tens of thousands of pages of text, most of which are totally outdated on the subject of emergent intelligent behavior. Unlike what a general form of intelligence would perform, the commentators are unable to differentiate among knowing everything/deducting perfectly, having limited knowledge/ability to deduct, and having no ability to reason in any context. They fail ChatGPT by the first standard, and therefore incorrectly conclude it has no ability to reason. It is a fundamental logical mistake, the law of excluded middle. (In fact, ChatGPT reasons in some situations and fails to reason in others. The failures do not mean it does not reason.) Most of the erroneous opinions stem from a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of what qualifies as intelligence, combined with a lot of training data that erroneously states that language models can only reproduce things already in their training data. To give a simple example of how the commentators here fail to reason for themselves: if they experience a situation in which ChatGPT unambiguously makes a completely novel, correct abstract logical deduction or indeed demonstrates thinking through its intelligent behavior, then the commentators here will still make the incorrect conclusion "it must have just seen it in its training set." Unfortunately, no commentator in this thread shows general intelligence. What would convince me: - Given a demonstration of general intelligence by ChatGPT, if the commentators correctly deduced that ChatGPT has general intelligence. So far commentators fail this basic test. They are just regurgitating output they have seen before, rather than showing any form of general intelligence.
