Saying an AI winter is coming isn't saying how long it will be for or what the magnitude will be.
OK, so what is it saying?
That progress won't be steady and predictable.

How would you measure human level AI?
Since intelligence isn't a well-defined term, the default fall-back would be a measurement by proxy. Humans are usually tasked with solving an IQ-test as the most common proxy. A human level AI could do just the same. If the AI scores above 50 points, it can be considered human level (though literally retarded).

I think you're mixing up sentience/consciousness/intelligence. Many animals are sentient for example but as far as we know, they don't really have language. But I think I get what you're getting at, which I believe is "human level intelligence requires langauge". I think that's a reasonable take. But you said "sentience", and you said "is", which makes your position difficult to agree with.
Hold up, you can't just throw out a claim like "many animals are sentient" as if it's a statement of fact. You might be right, but there's a reason that "the hard problem of consciousness" is hard. We don't really have any way to distinguish sentience/non-sentience based on behavior. The whole concept is extremely mushy.
You're right but as I've stated before, sentience and consciousness are different terms, and sentience has a definition in which the idea that animals are sentient isn't all that controversial. Not a mathematical axiom sure, but it all depends on what you mean by sentience, and I'm going by the classic definition.

There are a few concrete things the (fake) article says, primarily about what software to try (OpenAI's GPT-3), and where to try it (bitcointalk forum). Personally, I actually resent being mislead like this, at least on that second point, even with the full disclosure. The output is very high quality, but it is making at least one falsifiable assertion (no test was ever done in that forum).
If you've ever spent much time with a toddler you might have noticed that they spout a lot of fantasy. Learning to not make up untrue claims takes years of additional training for humans.
Some of them never learn it at all!

I read the beginning, went "what the fuck is this guy on about? Get to the point" and then came to check the comments to if this was anything interesting or worth reading, saw your comment, and skimmed the end bit. Overall I'm pleased with my process as its an efficient way to find out which articles are worth reading. But it was also clear to me that the author had difficulty making a clear point or had a goal in hi…
From your comment it's not clear to me if you realize the author of the article is GPT-3.
At this point I'm not even sure if that particular comment was written by GPT-3 or not.

If that’s the only thing that separates this from human writing; I’m sure it can be influenced easily.
> I'm sure it can be influenced easily. Maybe. Right now this reads like a glorified shopping list. It's coherent, but actually sounding human also requires a theory of mind. E.g. I explain here why it's possible for written statements to be objectively insightful, informative, interesting, or funny, but objectively in a way that's relational to other information or beliefs. The implication being that statements are…

What if the ultimate theory of mind turns out to be that consciousness is an illusion and nothing separates us from a sufficiently sophisticated markov process.

#248Here's an important thing to keep in mind: GPT-3 was trained without any labelled data, just huge amounts of raw text. Nobody spent man-years annotating sentences to help the system learn grammar, sentiment, topic understanding, etc.

Problem was I lost interest half way because it lost my interest after the 2nd paragraph. For those that say it was good till the last few is really pretending to understand what it said. It really did not made much sense.
I'm finding with secret GPT-3 output that I often find it boring before realizing it's GPT-3. I might even be getting to recognize its wordy, dull, cliche-ridden, borderline-nonsensical style. It's remarkably good at passing as human writing of no value whatsoever.
Well, it is trained on web content. Often I read an article and it's obvious they're either stretching it out to hit a word count, or trying to get as many google-able phrases in as they can. Some sites are worse than others, with the more no-name ones the worst offenders.

#250It indeed does a lot of things really well.
I’ve been asking famous authors and personalities questions about their life and work. Responses are actually quite good. Check some samples here: https://twitter.com/paraschopra/status/1284423233047900161?s...
