My prediction for the top comments of this thread (paraphrased) 1. It's just Microsoft's advertisement 2. No it's just a very effective pattern matching algorithm 3. Please define intelligence first otherwise it's nonsense 4. I welcome our machine overlord 5. Lmao I asked it to do $thing and it failed I'd like to know if GPT-4 can predict the top comments of this thread?

So you predict the top comments For a claim would be:

1. Dismisal

2. Trivialism

3. Non Well Formed Claim

4. I accept the claim

5. Disprove by counter example

Are you sure you have not forgotten any tactic of debate to include in you prediction?

I predict that you Prediction will result probably in these actions:

1. upvoted

2. downvoted

I can't help but the hear the distant, very very quiet echo of Clever Hans.

It would be interesting to figure out how Clever Hans does it, though. Don’t you want to know the tricks? Even when it’s a cheat, it might be a clever one.

For example, researchers eventually figured out that image recognition algorithms pay attention to textures.

I always thought General Intelligence would be Achieved by IBM or at least Apple, not by Microsoft. Now it will be used to pressure us into Windows Upgrades...

Rename ChatGPT to Clippy.

I know enough about how neural nets work to be absolutely blown away at how good the GPT are. I only skimmed the paper, but even chatGPT showed a lot of these “sparks”, IMO. We are certainly a long way off from any semblance of general intelligence, but for a model that just tries to predict the next word, I’m dumbfounded at how good it is.

As a poster of one of those bullet points, I feel personally attacked
