Why doesn't Chollet just make a challenge that reads like "Solve cancer", surely there is no solution in any books.
If the AI is really AGI it could presumably do it. But not even the whole human society can do it in one go, it's a slow iterative process of ideation and validation. Even though this is a life and death matter, we can't simply solve it.
This is why AGI won't look like we expect, it will be a continuation of how societies solve problems. Intelligence of a single AI in isolation is not comparable to that of societies of agents with diverse real world interactions.
- isaacfrond 2y agoExactly. Because I'm sure that the minute some program aces the ARC test, we'll all say, ahhh, but that, that wasn't real intelligence. And they would be right, if you solve the ARC test, you can do ARC like puzzles. Say something about your reasoning abilities I guess, but it surely does not say you have super human intelligence.
- mewpmewp2 2y agoAGI can't necessarily solve cancer. Perhaps ASI could (but maybe not), but AGI can only do what the most talented people can do in their areas of expertise or actions. So since people haven't solved cancer, that's not a requirement to be AGI.

Why doesn't a baby just run a marathon before it learns to walk? Because you've got to learn to walk before you can run. > But not even the whole human society can do it in one go, it's a slow iterative process of ideation and validation. So you break it down into little steps, which is what is being done here.
