Looking back at the history of artificial cognition machines, how many of them hit a ceiling at human-level capabilities?
- A simple calculator can beat any human at arithmetic
- A word processor with a hard disk is orders of magnitude better than any human at memorizing text
- No human can approach the ELO of a chess program running on a cheap laptop
- No human polymath has journeyman-level knowledge of a tiny fraction of the fields that LLMs can recite textbook answers from
Why should we expect AGI to be the first cognitive capabilities that does not quickly shoot past human-level ability?
- lawrenceyan 2y agoYeah so, I just tried a new experimental LLM today. Changed my mind. Think you’re right. At the very least, these models will reach polymath comprehension in every field that exists. And PhD level expertise in every field all at once is by definition superhuman, since people currently are time constrained by limited lifespans.
