Sorry but no, "multiply matrices" is not the fundamental problem blocking us from "Artificial General Intelligence", unless you believe in some alternate-facts

Sorry but no, "multiply matrices" is not the fundamental problem blocking us from "Artificial General Intelligence", unless you believe in some alternate-facts description of AGI, as Sam Altman recently tried to foist upon the world by describing "AGI" as something capable of making money. That isn't the real definition of "AGI", that's a guy puffing up his company to try to get more money.

A truly intelligent machine would need the capability to reason, understand, and think, exhibiting cognition, sentience, and consciousness - not merely sift through training data for a plausible response to an input. That isn't intelligence, that's a fancy search engine.
LLMs and the entire premise behind them is incapable of producing AGI. They might seem like "AI", but they are nothing at all like AGI.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoThere’s no way to know until we build ones that are as big as the brain
- leptons 2y agoNope. You could build an LLM using every transistor that ever existed of ever will exist, and it would still just be a fancy search engine with no cognition, no consciousness, no actual thought. People will have given up on the LLM hype long before actual AGI is ever close to being a thing. Do you even know how LLMs work?
- HDThoreaun 2y agoIm not talking about an LLM. We largely understand how the brain works. With enough transistors we could emulate it.
- leptons 2y ago>We largely understand how the brain works. No, we certainly do not - we only have a very basic understanding of the biological component, nowhere near enough to replicate consciousness. You're fooling yourself if you think it's just a matter of throwing hardware at the problem.
