As the Amazing Criswell put it, we are all interested in the future, because that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.
"In 2012, computer theorist Ben Goertzel proposed what he called the “robot university student test”, arguing that an AI capable of obtaining a degree in a same ways as a human should be considered conscious.
Goertzel’s idea – an alternative to the more famous “Turing test” – might have remained a thought experiment were it not for the successes of AIs employing natural language processing (NLP): most famously, GPT-3, the language model created by the OpenAi research laboratory."
@cyrilpedia Looking forward to seeing a computer go to a Tuesday night concert, work on Calculus problems from 3 to 5 a.m., go to half a class with a mild hangover and then regular foosball and domino credit courses all before lunch...
@cyrilpedia The intelligence to write papers and answer questions is an amazing advance, but to "go to college" it would also need motivation and agency. The gpt-3 models are idle until a task is put before them, until a question is asked, or a task provided.
A human still has to phrase "write a college essay about foo" then the system can generate one.
But it still lacks autonomy and drive and will of an independent entity.
@cyrilpedia I know I'm about to make the WORST argument ever. 😂 Didn't we learn anything from the Terminator franchise or the Matrix?
Now that everyone knows how stupid I am.
Let me turn my lights on.
It shouldn't be called A.I., once perfected, it won't make mistakes at all compared to us. That is just Intelligence with nothing artificial about it. The fact that we confuse emotions and opinions yet we emulate intelligent processes, in fact, makes us the A.I.
