This video from a preferred YT channel serves effectively to chop properly by the AI hype, notably the concept that the present methods, fashions, architectures have offered the foundations for attaining AGI, probably by the tip of the last decade even.
I might present with a lot easier examples (as I’m certain you’ve skilled your self) however he does it with considerably sophistication (making it more durable to disregard for some!) that whereas articles are being revealed about attaining close to AGI, it’s clear that these methods aren’t even wherever close to fundamental intelligence.
These LLMs primarily based methods are continuously doing their finest to offer a conversational expertise that, by its calculations the consumer expects, even when it requires fully making up solutions with out doing any analytical reasoning in any respect, i.e. it does its finest to foretell how a dialog like this could go primarily based on all of the coaching on human conversational information forming its knowledgebase. You get a great reply if it was skilled on a solution for that drawback.

Any hurt from AI for what it’s proper now won’t come from any ‘Intelligence’ risk however somewhat a extremely non-intelligent system being bought and put in place to do issues it was by no means able to. Factories operating robots, infrastructure automated, well being analysis, and so forth. all made dependent primarily based on false sense of reliability and accuracy. This has really already began to occur!
It’s subsequently most pressing and significant that corporations like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and others cease promoting these Synthetic “Intelligence” methods for greater than what they’re of their quest for competing one another, capturing the market, and better inventory costs. It would serve effectively if the trade stops utilizing fancy phrases like ‘Hallucinations’ to masks elementary and clear underlying limitations and flaws inside the foundations of those methods and undertake an extra trustworthy method for a expertise that’s encircling our lives and is about to outline the subsequent human period.
