1 Bloomberg: Mark #Zuckerberg is assembling a team of experts tasked with achieving #artificialgeneralintelligence, the notion that machines can perform as well as humans at many tasks. 🧵

Artificial intelligence - Machine Learning, Robotics, Algorithms: What do you think? Explore the ProCon debate Artificial general intelligence (AGI), or strong AI—that is, artificial intelligence that aims to duplicate human intellectual abilities—remains controversial and out of reach. The difficulty of scaling up AI’s modest achievements cannot be overstated. However, this lack of progress may simply be testimony to the difficulty of AGI, not to its impossibility. Let us turn to the very idea of AGI. Can a computer possibly think? The theoretical linguist Noam Chomsky suggests that debating this question is pointless, for it is an essentially arbitrary decision whether to extend common usage of the word

Interesting summary of the current AI hype, how it compares with the previous one in the 80s, and whether we are that close to AGI. tl;dr: no.

Including an amusing example where ChatGPT is unable to differentiate a real Monty Hall problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem from lookalikes, and offers the same counter-intuitive solution to all, even if the actual solution is obvious. No logical reasoning at all here. Fine or otherwis.

AI Experts Say We’re on the Wrong Path to Achieving Human-Like AI

An extensive report on the future of AI research indicated that there's skepticism about current approaches to AGI.

Gizmodo

Sabina Hossenfelder mentions research which finds that ChatGPT can't always correctly multiply large integers.

Odd, since it had access to lots of textbooks that explain exactly *how to multiply large integers*. In other words, it couldn't teach itself, and then follow its own instructions.

Dr. Hossenfelder is optimistic that we're on the road to artificial general intelligence, but I'm skeptical. Every era has imagined the mind to be analogous to the mechanical stuff of the age, hence phrases like "I can see the gears turning" meaning they can see that someone is thinking. But we've never been close to the real thing.

The #AlRevolution is happening faster than experts ever predicted - and we've hit the turning point.

The long-debated arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI) may be closer than we think, with some experts suggesting we could reach the technological singularity within the next year.
