> At some point you might turn that idea on it's head and realize that a lot of "intelligent" behavior is mostly parroting what worked before. Absolutely correct. That's why I consider ChatGPT to be major progress even thought it's not quite all the way there yet. It's sufficiently major progress that it has changed my mind about the odds of seeing "real AI" in my lifetime. Before ChatGPT I'd have given long odds against. Now I will be surprised if it doesn't happen in the next 5-10 years, maybe even sooner. > ChatGPT just needs a little more data Speaking as someone who used to do AI research, I think it needs more than just "a little more data", I think it needs an architectural modification. But yes, I think a lot of humans are closer to ChatGPT than even they themselves realize.
