I just asked ChatGPT

"With what probability is the George Washington Bridge the final digit of pi?"

and it used MY OPPONENTS' argument that this kind of question is "ill-formed" to justify MY conclusion (on grounds that require NON-VERBAL REASONING) that the answer is "zero".

This idiot database search program obviously is simply copying things that people have said. ELIZA did a more presentable job of it.

AIXI

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIXI

"AIXI /ˈaɪksi/ is a theoretical mathematical formalism for artificial general intelligence. It combines Solomonoff induction with sequential decision theory. AIXI was first proposed by Marcus Hutter in 2000[...]."

"[...]AIXI is incomputable."

3/3

WRITER FUEL: Predictions on the dawn of the AI singularity vary wildly but scientists generally say it will come before 2040, according to new analysis, slashing 20 years off previous predictions.

I get really sick of hearing about OpenAI and the rest of the LLM crowd making absurd claims about LLMs like ChatGPT being AGI. LLMs are not even close to AGI. If you want to see real research into AGI, watch this video on Chris Eliasmith's Spaun (semantic pointer architecture unified network). It may not look as snazzy and consumer-ready as all these hallucinating LLMs being marketed to us, but this is the real deal: A single system that can do lots of different things the brain does and that LLMs can never do.

@root The closest technologies we have to how the human brain works are not LLMs, but some less well-known ones: reinforcement learning algorithms and hyperdimensional computing. If you want to see what HDC is capable of, check out this video:

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
