So now humans is "super" intelligence? it's nice to move the upper bar so that more stuff can be called "just" intelligence.
- adastra22 1mo agoReference class in this case means not an example but what the comparison is against. Superhuman means better than humans. General intelligence is defined without any reference to human capability levels.
- ShinyLeftPad 1mo agoHow can somebody define intelligence without a reference to human capability? Humans are the one judging it. general intelligence for beavers or a birch forest would be very different than general intelligence for humans...
- adastra22 1mo agoIntelligence is problem solving. It can be defined in terms of optimization theory.
- ShinyLeftPad 1mo agoWhich is also a uniquely human take...
- adastra22 1mo agoI don't even know what you are arguing for.
- ShinyLeftPad 1mo agoThat you pretend there's some clear definitions where there aren't, and accuse people of "conflating" these things?
- desterothx 1mo agoHow would you define intelligence in terms of optimization theory? Also intelligence implies more than just problem solving, in fact it's another one of those pesky hard to define things
