It's kind of funny that Google's idea of evaluating AGI is outsourcing the work to a Kaggle competition.

I think you are mixing up consciousness and will. I could not have consciousness and you would not be able to tell, you don't have proof of anyone's counciousness except your own. You don't even have proof that the you of yesterday is the same as you, since you-today could be another consciousness that just happens to share the same memories. All of that is also orthogonal to your belief in a spirit/soul... but getti…
You bring up an interesting point, but I would pose the following: where does will come from? To me, consciousness is the seat, or root, of where will comes from. Let's say you get expert level surgeon or politician training, what then? There is nothing that specifically silos a surgeon or politician's knowledge-set. Meaning a politician's skillset isn't purely in a domain that doesn't cross into a surgeon's and vice…
your gut bacteria, navigating "you" towards novel nutrition to ingest and preprocess for them

This reminds me of "Devin". You know, the first "AI software engineer", which had the hype of the day but turned into a huge flop. They had ridiculous demos of Devin e.g. working as a freelancer and supposedly earning money from it.
It looks like the company (Cognition) is actively hiring (20+ job openings last I checked). That doesn't sound like a "flop" to me...

or that you can't read that GP was talking about what Ai CAN do?

Well, for starters, they definitively passed the Turing test a few years ago. The fact that many regard them as equivalent in skill to a junior dev is also, IMO, the stuff of science fiction.
how do you market that as a product that is needed by other people?
there are already companies that advertise Ai date partners, Ai therapists and Ai friends - and that gets a lot of flame about being manipulative and harmful

> The claim that books know things seems suspicious to me I didn't say the book knows things, but everyone can agree that books has knowledge in them. Hence something possessing knowledge doesn't make it intelligent. For example, when ancient libraries were burnt those civilizations lost a lot of knowledge. Those books possessed knowledge, it isn't a hard concept to understand. Those civilizations didn't lose intelli…
Would you consider taking a dump and then butchering an animal and then eating without washing your hands first, to be an issue of intelligence or knowledge ? The whole thing about washing hands comes from (some approximation of) germ theory of illness, and in practice, it actually just boils down to stories of other people practicing hygiene. So if one's answer here isn't "knowledge", it needs some serious justifica…
your brain hearing, comprehending and following those rules - that is intelligence
why do you keep confusing CPU speed/isa and contents of SSD? and arguing that it's the same thing?

To me it seems a bit like just guessing that one thing we don’t understand might explain another.
from the paper "AI systems already possess some capabilities not found in humans, such as LiDAR perception and native image generation". I don't know about them, but I can natively generate images in my mind.
