Can AI solve theory of everything?
Ignoring the philosophical dogma, is there enough openly available information, experiments and data that once feed into AI with certain neural network type could find solution that matches everything that it just saw?
Or are the latest developments gated heavily that would make this impossible even for smartest AI?
What actually stop us from just doing this? What if we gave AI a little of power to run experiments in the real world?

    With what senses? Where do you get the data from? What kind of data is it? AI is software not hardware. If you want it to "see" anything, you need to give it data to see. Do you just hook up a webcam and feed that in so it can look at your greasy face?

          Dall-E 2 from OpenAI is able to process imagery data from the internet and then generate image of anything you ask it to draw.
          It understands the data and similarities of them in internal complex way.

          For physics this would mean it could predict next outcome of given physical state or system, for starters. Given enough and good real data.
          The solution would be obfuscated in spaghetti of hidden layers, so we wouldn't know the solution still but AI would understand it in its "mind".

          There are several symbolic regression algorithms using AI where it can understand data then using another AI you're supposed to translate the mesh of layers into any simplified form you want including mathematical

            We can already do that without AI. The problem is that the outcome is not deterministic. You can't predict the outcome you can only calculate the odds of an outcome. Reality is inherently non-deterministic.

              Are you sure they're just probabilities?
              Coin toss is 50% probability as well until you understand the precise mechanics of coin flying and you realize it's deterministic.

              How can scientists say figuring out determinism isn't next step in quantum mechanics? It's foolish

                Yes. Hidden variable theory was disproved. It is mathematically impossible for there to exist some kind of information that would allow you to calculate the outcome from it.

                And even if hidden variables were a thing, if you don't feed them to the AI, you won't get any meaningful results. You can tell the outcome of a trillion coin tosses to the most intelligent AI out there but if it doesn't know the size, shape, velocity, position, mass, etc for each coin toss it won't be able to make any deterministic predictions. You need to give it all of the hidden variables.

    >Can AI solve theory of everything?
    Pretext:
    There is a lot of normie hype on AI, so of course there is a ton of backlash/"it's a nothingburger" types trying to tamp it down. The answer is: we don't know, but the results are promising on what current AI can do, and following trends suggest we aren't anywhere near a limit (throw more compute and data, it continues to grow unhindered. Hell Imagen is a boring-ass T5 coupled with a Diffusion model, and it's SOTA over DALLE2 now, and the more parameters the model had the better). Is it going to spontaneously gain consciousness tomorrow? lmao no.
    >Ignoring the philosophical dogma, is there enough openly available information, experiments and data that once feed into AI with certain neural network type could find solution that matches everything that it just saw?
    Not today's SOTA. But the field is rapidly expanding, and within even ~2 years of research we have way better/more interesting models (Since 2014, we've had Variational autoencoders, GANs and all their variations, attention mechanisms, transformers and all their variations, contrast learning, and just in the past like 1.5 years, CLIP and diffusion models). We still are babies when it comes to understanding NNs. The field is just now turning toward trying other algorithms besides backprop. We barely have ML-specific hardware. Recent advancements are targeting efficiency (how do we get the same results with 1/100th of the compute/data? CLIP was great for this). Give it another decade, I imagine we'll be a lot closer to answering that question (not saying "in 10 years we can do it", just saying we might be able to give a definite answer to that question).
    >Or are the latest developments gated heavily that would make this impossible even for smartest AI?
    I wouldn't really call it gated. It is, but "anyone" can go and create DALLE2 (and definitely Imagen) today. Yesterday's SOTA is all over github, and so will today's SOTA .

        It would definitely conclude that if you did not program in ANY assumptions. First thing it is going to get, is that it knows it exists. It does not know if matter exists even its own body. Experiments could never prove the absolute reality of it. And it would just stop there: "I exist now." end program. It couldn't possibly go further without making assumptions that other beings have inner lives or even that it existed an hour ago.

    If some of the smartest people to ever live on earth couldn't figure it out, how will you program an AI capable of figuring it out, do you see how stupid your question is? Physics are centuries ahead of the rest of society. Society needs to catch up, for enough people to actually learn and understand the existing science, enough genius level IQ working at will will eventually figure it out, the problem is that we have too many singers and hustlers and too little physicists. Our hope is that India and China are producing entire generations of geniuses, maybe one of them will reach god tier level, but then again, they aren't white, on average they are more intelligent than whites, but they don't have the extremes we have, we have a fraction of whites that are super intelligent, and a fraction that are mentally moronic. btw some neanderthal dna makes your head and brain larger

              Even the best artists used only parts of their brain to draw such pictures, we don't need insane technology to emulate only part of that neural network and heavily train it on computers.

              You're talking about the depth of art, the person behind the art drawing it, but the final result can be recreated with AI and there's no doubts of that.

    The solution is simply welding everything with the most efficient repeating pattern it just saw, because the universe is expanding true AGI would require to have an exponentially expanding "eye capacity" and random access memory to boot. Also, it would have to exceed in visual capacity, the expansion of the universe. One of these things is easier than the other. I'll have you guess which.

      Can you speak in a more understandable manner, i have very little idea of what you just said.
      It sounded like:
      >Something something "an agi needs to see more because the universe is getting bigger and also it needs more short term memory to process what it sees".
      I mean, ok, but why specificly because the universe is expanding, what does that have to do with anything?
      Then you said (translated to English):
      >it would need to see beyond the observable universe, or at least start seeing things faster than the universe is expanding
      What? Your ideas are just gibberish, theres no understanding behind them, it's just word salad.
