ChatGPT points to us possibly going in the right direction. It is so good that people need to write long articles about why it is not as good as a human. Contrast to older efforts, which were pretty clearly not so great. I find this pretty compelling, and GOTCHA examples that show that ChatGPT isn't as good as humans in everything miss the point.
Birds fly and drones don't look like birds - but they fly. If the goal is flying, it's okay that we achieve it through something that doesn't exactly mimic what inspired it. Do we need a "full human" for all we do? Our billions of machines, many performing work previously done by humans, show that we don't.
If we can largely replicate intelligence, it's not super important whether "this is how human intelligence works".
- burnished 3y agoYou inverted the argument accidentally with your angel analogy, I think something like "we have labradors, what evidence do we have that they are not angels?" matches much more closely to the thrust of their point while also highlighting what you find lacking about the argument. Edit: the important bit is that the subject already has some qualities in common with the proposed classification which is a significantly different proposition than a purely hypothetical orbital teapot
