something like this is the premise in the peter watts novels of the sunflower cycle. the starship AIs intelligence is about the level of a chimp, because any higher and they start developing their own motives.
- jurgenaut23 3y agoAh, didn't know about it, but that's exactly my thought.
- crotchfire 3y agoWhy would that make any sense? Humans "have their own motives" because we're designed to reproduce. We're designed to reproduce because anything that didn't, over billions of years, no longer exists today. Why on earth would an artifact produced by gradient descent have its own motives? This is just an absurd consequence of extrapolating from a sample size of one. The only intelligent thing we know of is humans, humans have their own motives, therefore all intelligent things have their own motives. It's bogus.
- stefs 3y agoi don't think the current generation of GPTs can develop "motives", but the question is if AGI is even possible without it having the ability to develop them.
