Even if say we are close to “AGI” it’s going to be something significantly different from human and animal intelligence. One of the most obvious differences that I don’t see people bring up: 1. ChatGPT can only respond to an input. If you left it alone it would literally do nothing. It cannot, generate, create thoughts and choose what stimuli to respond to. This posits that the human brain is like a dynamical system. You switch it on and it keeps going on forever, there is also no hardline between learning and inference like DL. ChatGPT and others etc, feel very much like a digital system. It can only respond to inputs provided, there is a clear demarcation between the learning stage and the inference stage Note: it is still possible that these AI systems will reach human like performance in a variety of tasks. But they will seem very weird and different from the intelligent systems we are exposed to in Nature
