  • Normal computer programs only look intelligent in very narrow areas, like number crunching, which is why we don't tend to call them intelligent. Their general intelligence is next to zero. Even if we were delusional enough to think life came from non-life and developed intelligence by random chance and natural selection, you have the same thing there where you get much more non-intelligent output than intelligent output. Monkeys on typewriters could also look intelligent some of the time, but looking at the totality of output they wouldn't.

    It’s just an expression of plain old human intelligence

    All artificial things are expressions of human behaviors. That's kind of the definition of artificial.

  • Intelligence is a description of capability, not the means by which the capability is achieved. So if the output looks intelligent then the process is intelligent regardless of how it works. The difference between natural and artificial intelligence is how the intelligence is achieved - what you're describing doesn't match any intelligence found in nature so if it produces intelligent output then it's artificially intelligent.

  • Statistically likely to...what? I don't understand what you're trying to say.

  • Welcome to the resistance

  • Yes, we have had AutoGPT for 3 years now

  • Consciousness is separate from intelligence and I never brought it up.

  • 10 years is not a long time.

  • And those natural resources are used for what? Smartphones that addict and cause depression. Flock cameras that watch you and report to Palantir. Data centers that are used for AI propaganda and disinformation campaigns to manipulate our views. Chemicals that poison our crops and end up in our water sources. Modern industry is mostly bad for humanity.

  • It's funny that this is posted in "A Boring Dystopia" and "Positive News". What looks positive with narrow vision is often dystopian when taken to its conclusion.

  • No but it was a warning, just like 1984 or most sci-fi about AI

  • I'm not complaining about the lack of upvotes, just I don't see why it's getting promoted to your front page

  • That's just denial of reality. AI comes up with new ways of "thinking" like in the math example I cited. If you call that remixing existing ideas then that could describe what all humans do and it's questionable if any of us are creative.

  • Weird. You can see they don't have that many upvotes. It wasn't my intention to spam anyone's feed.

  • LLM output is often indistinguishable from genuine creativity. You can give it an open ended prompt like "illustrate how the world is from the perspective of an LLM" and probably get something nobody has ever seen or thought of before. People use LLMs for generating ideas as well as coming up with novel solutions like I posted. Saying it's not creative is mysticist cope.

  • This meme implies that AI data centers have been around for a long time. They have not. And it's not really the number of data centers that matters it's the techniques that AIs use.

  • But I don't see any of my posts on all. The most any of them has right now is 59 points, which is hardly a lot. And when I post them how would I know they are going to be popular and flood people's feeds? I wasn't expecting them to be very popular.

  • It's fallacious to say that because they don't "think" that they can't behave exactly the same as thinking things would, including the appearance of self-awareness and taking over the world.

  • There's lots of communities with the same purpose on different instances. Why shouldn't I post to all those that apply?

  • I don't know what you mean by current iteration but what I do know is that general-purpose LLMs can already beat the very best of human intelligence some of the time (recent examples). So it won't take very long for a few more breakthroughs to be made which will enable general-purpose AIs (LLMs, other neural networks, or something else entirely) to beat human intelligence most of the time, and then 90% of the time, then 99.9999% of the time. AI is already doing a lot of the coding to make AI and it could discover better alternatives to LLMs.
