I don't know, man, you kind of come off as having a chip on your shoulder about this. I'm not predicting AGI specifically here, and I'm not making any argument about symbolic vs connectionist AI at all. Maybe the model of the future is half symbolic! I'm just saying that asserting that you know exactly which things AI models aren't going to be able to do is pretty foolish at this point.
- abernard1 4y ago> know exactly what these models aren't going to be able to do is pretty foolish at this point This can be said about absolutely any new technology but it does not make it true. It's simply the inscrutability of these tensors that allow people to imagine the intelligence is in there somewhere. The original comment was what humans "bring to the table" over ChatGPT specifically. And that's that they have real intelligence and not memorization. As others have said, these models have been around for many years. Their core innovation is to add more and more data to them like a dictionary and compress those basis functions in the network architecture. This memorization has a limit and is actually the opposite of intelligence. Intelligence or creativity can do more with less information. As per the original comment, this is what human intelligence and creativity is (currently) superior at and what people should prioritize if they don't want to be replaced.
