There's so much that the term includes that isn't even feasible with an LLM

There's so much that the term includes that isn't even feasible with an LLM
- adastra22 13d agoArtificial. General. Intelligence. The ability to solve (even partially or even badly solve) problems drawn from arbitrary problem domains without pretraining on the specific problem class. You can pose any problem of any type using natural language to an LLM and it will attempt a solution. That's literally all the term means. You (and the rest of the media and many industry figures) are conflating artificial super-intelligence (reference point: humans) with artificial general intelligence (reference point: specialized/narrow GOFAI).
- TomGarden 13d agoI don't think we'll be able to meet, and that's ok since the definition isn't universal. I align more with Demis Hasabis' views on this
- rad-b 13d agoVery valid point, shame it’s buried so deep in the comments’ tree.
- ShinyLeftPad 13d ago> conflating artificial super-intelligence (reference point: humans) with artificial general intelligence (reference point: specialized/narrow GOFAI). So now humans is "super" intelligence? it's nice to move the upper bar so that more stuff can be called "just" intelligence.
- adastra22 13d agoReference class in this case means not an example but what the comparison is against. Superhuman means better than humans. General intelligence is defined without any reference to human capability levels.
- ShinyLeftPad 13d agoHow can somebody define intelligence without a reference to human capability? Humans are the one judging it. general intelligence for beavers or a birch forest would be very different than general intelligence for humans...
- adastra22 13d agoIntelligence is problem solving. It can be defined in terms of optimization theory.
- ShinyLeftPad 13d agoWhich is also a uniquely human take...
- adastra22 13d agoI don't even know what you are arguing for.
- ShinyLeftPad 13d agoThat you pretend there's some clear definitions where there aren't, and accuse people of "conflating" these things?
- desterothx 12d agoHow would you define intelligence in terms of optimization theory? Also intelligence implies more than just problem solving, in fact it's another one of those pesky hard to define things
- kuschku 13d agoThere's a simple rule: someone of higher intelligence can successfully pretend to be someone of lower intelligence, but not the other way around. Humans can successfully pretend to be LLMs, but LLMs are still not successful at pretending to be Humans. ASI "matches or exceeds humans in at least one field" AGI is defined as "matches or exceeds humans in all fields" Superintelligence is defined as "strictly exceeds humans in all fields"
- bigmadshoe 10d agoI don't think your definition matches the general consensus.
