I don't know what planet you're from but for me the I in AGI stands for intelligence. Nothing today is even close to intelligence. We have behavior that we, humans, perceive as intelligent in a very narrow sense.
Intelligence implies an environment and some sort of self-conservation. So being able to predict the environment AND using the prediction to survive/gain an advantage. The leaf to a self and consciousness is not that big from this but made murky by not knowing what consciousness really is to begin with.
- cjbprime 4y agoSo a single-cell protozoa is more intelligent than GPT-4, then. This definition doesn't seem to be very useful?
- x86x87 4y agoYes, it is more intelligent. Also, given enough time that protozoa can evolve. GPT4 cannot. In fact GPT4 makes zero sense if humans are not involved and are not using it as a tool. It's a tool we have created. The problem when talking about AI, AGI, intelligence is that we are always doing that using an anthropomorphized lens. If we discard this lens and take these developments at face value for what they are, tools, the conversation can be honest and we can talk about pros/cons and where these technologies can be used. To pretend that the machines are going to take over any minute now and what we are seeing is "intelligence" will only help drive certain discourses and in the worst case will make these tools available for a small minority or have them banned altogether.
