My son, a tech geek, is at a big conference in New Orleans and just texted me this tidbit:

"OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT this week. It's been benchmarked on standard reasoning tests, and was assessed to have an IQ of 83, so on the lower side of average in the US. A computer that has absolutely no personal experience with anything, and has only read the writings of others' experiences and reasoning, is at least as capable at logical reasoning as the lower 37% of the American population. Let that sink in..."

Wow. If they can develop an open AI at the genius level, then we are in trouble. At what point does it begin to develop "personality"? If the bot is in a genius level, it could figure out a way to override a failsafe of mechanism.

Movies have been made about this.

1. It is inevitable that AI will surpass us in intellect, imho

I've never heard a convincing argument to the contrary.

3. Exactly!

It will happen and sooner than most think.

5. LOL

(I realize this is an old post) - but there are some major shortcomings

AI is great at summarizing - the "breakthroughs" are mostly just interpolations, not extrapolations of existing knowledge.

ChatGPT's logic is very circular. (See note above about interpolations). This tends to create a very artificial and often incorrect belief model.

I think AI is suffering from the 80/20 rule. The easy 80% is being met - the 20% hard piece is not.

2. IQ of 83... Will it learn and become smarter?

IQ of 83.

Will it learn and become smarter?

4. Lawsuit Takes Aim at the Way A.I. Is Built

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/23/technology/copilot-microsoft-ai-lawsuit.html

Like many cutting-edge A.I. technologies, Copilot developed its skills by analyzing vast amounts of data. In this case, it relied on billions of lines of computer code posted to the internet. Mr. Butterick, 52, equates this process to piracy, because the system does not acknowledge its debt to existing work. His lawsuit claims that Microsoft and its collaborators violated the legal rights of millions of programmers who spent years writing the original code.

The suit is believed to be the first legal attack on a design technique called “A.I. training,” which is a way of building artificial intelligence that is poised to remake the tech industry. In recent years, many artists, writers, pundits and privacy activists have complained that companies are training their A.I. systems using data that does not belong to them.

Not only that, but instances of A.I. (references left to reader) or Machine Learning, are trained on datasets that result in prejudices of one sort or another.

It's "kind of like" building a Frankenstein monster by trial and error, not knowing if the brain came from Max Delbrück or (use your imagination).

P.S. there was a real Max Delbrück, Nobel Prize winner in 1969.
