ok, i am not MLE or in research, thus i can be wrong. As fas as I understood, right now nueuro science dont understand how exactly mind works, i means it know bits and pieces. Based on this, AI neurons are created and they have been training on data creating models, thus chatgpt like ai are born. Now, chatgpt shows great promise, but still natural intelligence looks superior, i mean natural intelligence created ai, right? In other words, there has to be something chatgpt cant achieve and thus i feel cant replace swe completely. (few montonous task can be achieved)
Natural AI created AI, but a future where AI creates more advanced AI is possible
Stop calling ChatGPT AI. In no way is it “Intelligence”. It’s ML.
It very much is intelligent. Prediction of what to say next does imply an understanding of the structure of the world for sure. (Represented by numbers & weight) The main distinction with human intelligence is that we iteratively learn new things and have long term memory, and do future planning. The first 2 is not a big issue as there are architectures being researched that build upon that (check SSMs). The 2nd one is tricky, but is not essential for AI to change the world
The fact that natural ai created artificial ai is not an argument that artificial ai can’t exceed natural ai. Just keep in mind we’re only 50 years into this with practical progress only being made in the last 15 years or so. 100, 500, 1000, etc. years will come. Advancements will be non-linear, especially when ai is used to advance ai.
What is natural ai? And what is artificial ai?
Sorry, I meant natural intelligence. (You and me).
In 10+ years the big conservative versus liberal culture war issue will be about whether AI is truly intelligent or not. Conservatives believe humans are the most special beings in the universe, created in God's image, so they will never accept that something non human is capable of human like intelligence. Sort of cognitive geocentrism. On one side we'll have AIs and sympathetic humans arguing for basic rights and on the other side scared old people, televangelists and internet Nazis screeching that they are just pocket calculators. Liberals will point out (rightly) that if you held humans to the same standards as AIs you would conclude that they are not conscious or intelligent either lmao. Will make all the hate trans people are getting atm seem tame. Gonna be lit.
Natural intelligence is so awesome it will manage to create its own replacement. SWEs are already starting to see the effect. Maybe not completely replaced very soon but jobs will go absolete gradually. Also the fact it is artificial doesn't mean it has to be less capable. I can manually multiply big numbers but a calculator will be much faster.
Unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't classify LLMs as intelligent. They are incredibly useful but they have no real understanding in what they spit out. This is why hallucinations are an ongoing problem and probably always will be to some extent.
That's not an unpopular opinion, that is a fact.
Unpopular on here since everyone seems to have joined the Church of GPT.
