WTF is AGI?
EDIT: Clearly the point is lost on the repliers. There is no general understanding of what 'general intelligence' is. By many metrics, ChatGPT already has it. It can answer basic questions about general topics. What more needs to be done? Refinement, sure, but transformer-based models have all qualifications to be 'general intelligence' at this point. The responses are more coherent than many people I've spoken with.

- anon291 3y agoA meaningless term.
- Xirgil 3y agoArtificial General Intelligence. OpenAI defines it as "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work"
- anon291 3y agoOkay, well, I'll say that at least that's a definition (it has to be good enough at something to make money). Arguably of course, it already does that. Me personally, I've used it to automate tasks I would have previously shelled out to fiverr, upwork, and mechanical turk. I've had great success using it to summarize municipal codes from very very lengthy documents, down to concise explanations of relevant pieces of information. Since I would have previously paid people to do that (was running an information service for a friend), I would consider that AGI. I guess the catch here is now 'most', but that implies a lot of knowledge about the economy I don't think openai has. What is 'economically valuable'? Who decides? At the end of the day, as with most things, AGI is a meaningless term because no one knows what that is.
- timeon 3y agoAny curve-fitting is now AI, so they had to come with new term.
- anon291 3y agoWhen you take a university / school course, how is that functionally different from curve fitting? Given that arbitrarily complex states can be modeled as high-dimensional curves, all learning is clearly curve fitting, whether in humans, machines, or even at the abiological level (for example, self optimizing processes like natural selection). Even quantum phenomema are -- at the end of the day -- curve fitting via gradient descent (hopefully it's had enough time to settle at a global minima!)

- anon291 3y agoThe problem with this definition 'an agent that can do tasks animals or humans can perform' is that it's not clear what that would look like. If you produce a system that can be interacted with via text input only but is otherwise capable of doing everything a human can do in terms of information processing, is that AGI? Or does AGI imply a human-like embodied form? Why?
- wtetzner 3y agoSorry, your original comment sounded like you were asking what the acronym stood for, not the definition of Artificial General Intelligence.
