This is a good argument. While models for producing useful text and images will continue to improve and create evermore convincing outputs, they lack some fundamental aspects of lived experience. Imagine if we could record all (or many) aspects of our daily experience from 1M+ viewpoints over many years - that would lead to a revolutionary model and would be unfathomably expensive to train.
The sounds heard waiting for a train. The experience of going on a date or hiking or swimming. The tastes and sensation of biting into some fruit. They each hold such a rich multi-modal experience that feels impossible to replicate in a model at at this time. An LLM can describe it but it cannot experience it.
Not that such experience is required to do what an AGI might be asked to do, but how could something reach AGI or higher without that level of experiential detail?
- singularity2001 2y agomulti-modal models trained on videos and text already learn through 3 senses. google and others already connected these to arms (with very limited tactile information though). we wouldn't deny intelligence to people with disabilities. a model which was force-fed more than any human can ever experience is an alien intelligence, but the model it creates internally seems sufficient in many ways. if you accept the ability to do 'cold reasoning' as intelligence I'd say we are pretty close.
