    People keep saying that AGI will never attain human level consciousness, but the thing is is that it's not supposed to. That's not how AGI is measured. AGI as the name suggests is just generalized AI, meaning it knows a lot about a lot of things instead of only being good at one thing. It's still just artificial intelligence, not artificial consciousness

      No, AGI is the ability to LEARN to accomplish any intellectual task that human beings or other animals can perform. All of these things are just pre-training and potentially fine-tuning, it has no ability to learn because it's stateless.

      All of the AI field recently is literally regression based function approximators. It's like saying wow, you can train a segmentation task to segment the sky out of photos, that must mean it's a super intelligent system that can learn to segment ALL possible categories and edit images too. It's literally statistical regression, it doesn't work that way.

      I fricking hate you stupid Black folk hyping up AI.

              Yeah, it's pretty cope when you're literally using the stateless corpus of GPT-3.5 to explain the entire task it's supposed to "learn" step by step and saving it as an embedding instead of, you know, actually being able to learn a task and navigate the world. Apparently this is known as "environment feedback", lmao, when you want to learn something you just use language to ask a question and the instructions magically pop into your head. Keep burning up OpenAI credits though.

                LLMs in their current form are stateless.
                Their "state" is entirely determined by the prompt. The conversations happen by looping the previous responses/prompts back in on an additional prompt. Hence, stateless: the only thing that exists is the current input, nothing else. And that input is limited to whatever the context limit/window is.

          Yeah no shit, it's python that's querying a JSON API of a huge approximated function that predicts language, where the approximated function is predicting the next word from the model all substantive words/language and the relations between them in the dataset (the web), where the model was further refined by statistically biasing it towards a subset of intelligent language like Q&A, instruct, code, etc, via RLHF tuning. No shit it's not conscious.

                Or, more likely, you're anthropomorphizing the language model. Because it's gotten so good at prediction of language on the (very small) area of language latent space which conforms to our idea of intelligent behavior. Then you'll explain away confabulations and other misprediction bullshit with "humans do that too!"

                Here's a test: a genie comes to you and says you must choose something intelligent to embody for a day, and if you switch "experiences" with something truly intelligent you get three wishes. If you chose something which is not truly intelligent, you will die.

                Will you embody the weights of the regression based function approximation trained on the shitposts of the web?

                I don't think you truly believe they're intelligent, so you actually wouldn't choose them.

                Intelligence tests are simply tests designed to be more highly correlated with g, as they do not actually measure g.
                As it turns out, GPT-4 scores highly on these intelligent tests by virtue of being biased towards the small area of latent language space we call intelligent behavior.
                The genie says if you switch places with something that has any of semblance of g, instead of merely predicting cognitive artifacts of humans with that g factor, you get three wishes.

        Unironically, what does this mean in this context?

        I've gone on this ramble before, but I have no idea if it's close to any kind of mark. A huge limiting factor of current """AI""" seems to be that it doesn't have any kind of mental state. Like, for AI-generated images, it doesn't know how many limbs a human has, it just has statistical models of how a torso-shape becomes limb-shapes. It gets worse with videos made of a series of AI-generated images, as the """AI""" can't "keep track" of what a character is wearing. It's a flickering mess, with straps increasing in number or disappearing entirely, buckles rapidly shuffling across thick lines, a limb in the foreground from an off-screen body shifting between being a limb and a frickin' tree branch because the """AI""" doesn't "know" what it is and just tries to assign colors and patterns based on guesses of how whatever is there is "supposed" to look.

        With """AI""" chatbots, they similarly don't "know" anything, simply coming up with strings of words via statistical models that try to predict how to sound human. It can be extremely useful, but it will also happily spout complete bullshit because said bullshit is statistically the most human-sounding string based on previous words.

        Is that lack of any actual knowledge, lack of anything concrete, what "stateless" refers to? Or is it something completely different and I'm a moron?

              No one said anything about LINEAR regression specifically except for you. It’s simply regression based. It’s regression based function approximation. It’s not a neural network, it’s a function approximation, just like machine learning is just regression for all intents and purposes in the context of these approximates after AlexNet.

    why is human consciousness even considered part of the conversation? consciousness is the act of existence observing itself, it literally just means knowledge originally. "with knowledge" or "with consciousness". a concept of understanding the nature of being, it has fricking nothing to do with brain processing functions. so, yeah as much as you can try, unless AI can somehow naturally and offline becomes aware of itself, no it cannot mimic consciousness. simply an aspect of being born biologically from the immaterial energy in 4d space. a tree observing itself through its leaves so to speak.

      they fill your mind with fear so you wont question the regulations they impose upon you while they abstain from following said regulations.

    It's a one-trick pony specialized AI. And it breaks the second it deviates from its training. Also I'm pretty sure I saw a paper for this 6+ months ago and nothing changed.

    AGI = anything a human can do it can do, & anything it can do a human can do given enough time, it is equal to a human

    ASI (super intelligence) = it can do things that humans never never do even with infinite time (think how humans can feel/process emotions but ants cannot no matter how much time), the ASI will have cognitive functions that human brains aren’t wired to be able to “feel”

    An AGI would be able to feel emotions and learn like a human baby does (except it never loses its neural plasticity)

      Given emotions are bio-chemical and perhaps comes from the soul, unlikely. At best AGI will be like a sociopath that logically understands emotions from training and thus understands how to pretend to have emotions to manipulate humans.

    Don't worry, just learn how to draw/play music/write stories. AI can do math, but they can't be creative.

    The fact that the empirical data from AI development is triggering random redditors more than the spiritual schizos will never not be funny.
