Social cognition: processing and interpreting social information and responding appropriately in social situations
Is social cognition really a measure of intelligence for non-social entities?
- lnenad 6mo agoIt is not. Why is that relevant to social entities?
- lvoudour 6mo agoHow well you interact with other members of a society increases your chances of procreation, survival, knowledge acquisition, ie. it makes sense as a measure of intelligence
- LogicFailsMe 6mo agoIt's a pretty ambiguous definition. The most powerful man in the world right now is not someone I consider a role model for social cognition and yet there he is with the football for the second time demonstrating grandmaster skill at social cognition to get there.
- lvoudour 6mo agoYou don't have to be empathetic and nice, just good at navigating society.
- LogicFailsMe 6mo agoSo in all seriousness with a bit of snark: Do you want a malevolent AGI? Because "good at navigating society" as the only benchmark here is how you get a malevolent AGI... Evidence: cuckoos and cheaters all the way down the evolutionary ladder as a winning strategy and arms race against the hard workers.
- lvoudour 6mo agoI don't like a$$holes but they do exist and they are part of our species, ergo intelligent. My opinion of them doesn't change the fact
- LogicFailsMe 6mo agoYes, but we have a choice about whether the AGI is an a$$h0l3 or not. That's the difference here. You do see that right?
- lnenad 6mo agoI agree 100%.
