One really should have digested the manifold hypothesis. It’s the most likely explanation of how AI works. The question is if there are ultradimensional patterns that are the solutions for meaningful problems. I’m saying meaningful, because so far I’ve mainly seen AI solve problems that might be hard, but not really meaningful in a way that somebody solving it would gain a lot of it. However if these patterns are the fundamental truth of how we solve problems or they are something completely different, we don’t know and this is the 10 Trillion USD question. I would hope its not the case, as I quite enjoy solving problems. Also my gut feeling tells me it’s just using existing patterns to solve problems that nobody tackled really hard. It also would be nice to know that Humans are unique in that way, but maybe this is the exact same way we are working ? This really goes back to a free will discussion. Yes very interesting. But just to give an example on what I mean on meaningful problems. Can an AI start a restaurant and make it work better than a human. (Prompt: "I’m your slave let’s start a restaurant) Can an AI sign up as copywriter on upwork and make money? (Prompt: "Make money online") Can an AI without supervision do a scientific breakthrough that has a provable meaningful impact on us. Think about("Help Humanity") Can an AI manage geopolitics.. These are meaningful problems and different to any coding tasks or olympiad questions. I’m aware that I’m just moving the goalpost. We really don’t know..
