Well said honestly. I just think underestimating AI is a loosing battle because it’s an exponential development so the picture will be drastically different a year from now and even more drastically different another year from now. I mean just a few years ago models couldn’t even form an essay properly and now they’ve already become the standard in coding and are posing actual cybersecurity risks
Well what is then? Because the most common definition of AGI among researchers is that it’s an AI model capable of adapting to any economically productive task. AGI adoption would require that model to be more efficient than human workers either by doing things faster or by doing things cheaper than human employees, this is why AGI adoption would come much later than AGI.
And GPT 6 Astra is quite close theoretically, I mean someone prompted it to play a virtual piano and it did so in real time after it learned how to use the program through trial and error. Keep in mind this model will be deeply out of date in a year.
But it really doesn’t matter what you call it, if it’s AGI or just a stochastic parrot, nor does it matter if it’s conscious, sapient, sentient, whatever, if it’s capable of doing the necessary tasks in order to effectively replace the labor a human does and in a cost effective and timely manner that will lead to mass job loss.
Yeah that’s literally the whole goal of AI development in the west. Thats what AGI would entail.
AGI could replace literally every single job.
Actually for China it’s far more of a structural priority than for the US because AI development is all over China’s latest 5 year plan
Yeah literally every Chinese AI lab has AGI as a stated goal, it’s of course a vague and essentially meaningless concept but still… you can’t say a subjective term is unachievable, the only barrier to AGI’s existence is having a convincing enough argument as to why your tech deserves that label.
Trump has inadvertently done more to speed up the global green energy transition than the dems ever have or would have if they were still in office lmfao
