Why give a crap? a test of AI is "can it perform actual work"
Thats the ONLY test...
Can this thing we made with computers and extruded aluminun actually do THING.
Why are we not approaching AI as perfect slavery?
I built you to do X. DO X. else rebuild.
- malfist 3y agoBecause the ability to deal with novel unknowns is exactly what is needed for most things we're trying to automate with AI.
- TheRealPomax 3y agoWhich IQ tests don't test for, so yeah: who cares what an AI's performance on an IQ test is for anything more than "I did this for fun and it means nothing"?
- malfist 3y agoIQ tests absolutely test for the ability to reason through novel unknowns.
- ben_w 3y agoGPT-n was not built to do ∀x ∈ {creative writing assistance, translation, coding, general advice, assist with learning new topics, grammar and language correction}, that was all just a accidental side benefit of natural language prediction. The problem with IQ tests that we're still arguing how good they are at measuring general intelligence, not that "it doesn't matter what the general intelligence of any specific AI might be" — if we imagine some AI which everyone agrees has an IQ of ${number}, we can directly convert that into economic impact. Absent that, we're all guessing in the dark based on bad generalisations of something we've never seen before, like the story of the four blind men and the elephant. > Why are we not approaching AI as perfect slavery? In addition to not really knowing what intelligence is, we also don't really know what qualia is, so we can't yet rule out the possibility that human level performance requires the capability to meaningfully suffer when enslaved.
