> LLMs will not achieve superintelligence: Although these models can process information quickly and access a wide range of knowledge, they lack the superior reasoning or inference abilities that would classify them as superintelligence.
> LLMs as an extension of human thought: These models can automate and amplify human capabilities but do not introduce new abilities beyond what is already present in human thought processes.
I have toyed with the idea how would the society look like of we have "AI" that is superior to almost all humans in almost all tasks - with the sole exception being the fraction of humans who who are able to create actually new knowledge to humanity and "AI" to exploit. Would be some interesting dynamics if majority of people were completely useless in traditional economic sense, or at best, mindless drones for the physical tasks AI is not (yet) capable of doing.
(Feel free someone to write a novel on this)
- ChatGTP 3y agoLast night I was cooking my dinner and I saw a horse fly die a horrible death. It flew through the burning gas, burned it's wings off, landed on the hot cook top and just lied there dying. I quickly dispatched it because it was the most humane thing I could imagine doing. It reminded me how harsh the world can be and reading your comment resonated quite well with me after what I had witnessed. Are we the fly heading for the flame? I think we like to think we're just going to be ok, we'll just be lucky, after all, it's just progress? We've not yet encountered doom...right? However, things really do go badly and it's a shame we don't actually think things through a little bit more before going full steam ahead into a situation where we might lose our wings and wind up on that hot plate. I do understand that it might mean we never end up like that fly as well... I am quite neutral about AI progress but I do think your question is an important one, and I've yet to hear a compelling counter argument to the issue you've described. I guess the plan is we try improvise once Pandora's box has been smashed wide open? All aboard, full steam ahead for progress at all costs captain!!!
