There are two things occurring here. One is the AI effect, once something mysterious becomes creatable it is not intelligent at all.
The other isn't a problem of the field of AI, but the total fields of intelligence together. There is no formal agreed upon definition of what intelligence actually is across disciplines. It would be slightly hypocritical to point out the field of AI on this, when biology and psychology are just as guilty.
The more we look, the more lumpy intelligence seems to get. We find some species have min/maxxed portions of intelligence that we have to question what general intelligence actually is. It also should give us pause that some less generally intelligent agent can cause massive problems by maxing out the right stats.
- janalsncm 3mo agoI’d go a step further and say your first point is a consequence of the second. Because “intelligence” is poorly defined, anyone can slap “AI” on their product, so it becomes a nebulous moving target.
- pixl97 3mo agoCorrect, we need new definitions and grading system to define what capabilities and algorithms has, while at the same time being on the lookout for new capabilities that fall outside of that system. That way we can judge systems that are just a repeat of previous systems with dubious claims attached to their capabilities. It can be somewhat difficult to do this properly and generally enough to ensure the tests aren't benchmaxxed.
