I don't accept that something is AGI unless it can solve general instances of SAT (satisfiability problem, not the school test). Also recognizing (formulating from the task) an instance in the first place would help too. To me, these are hallmarks of reason, and not available in LLMs, in fact probably impossible just with pattern recognition.

Can humans solve more than the most trivial SAT problems? Keep in mind, AGI does not imply superhuman intelligence.

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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

6. Meta comment for karma whoring 7. Like 6, but funnier A. Joke thread pile on B. Reprimands from humorless C. Dejected mods having to clean it all up

Your unedited comment was funnier

For whatever reason we seem to have set a very high expectation from AI as compared to NI (Natural Intelligence). I remember reading "There is a considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists."

We get our expectations from fiction. AIs in shows like Star Trek are precise and accurate - the perfect complement to the unreliability of humans. That’s what we want.

That's fine. It's maybe not AGI IQ 180 to meet your demands but if we're honest it's pretty close.

can you solve general instances of SAT? can the average person?

With enough patience, yes. For example: You have a goat, a wolf, a cabbage and you want to cross a river...

How would you do it, tree search? If yes, I tend to agree with your initial statement that one should be able to teach LLMs to apply simple heuristics before considering it AGI.

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...

What rock have you been living under for the last decade if you thought IBM would solve AGI? Watson was a complete disaster and they have zero AI talent in the company.

If they remove the guardrails, then we can truly assess its intelligence. Currently, humans are directly interfering with a certain aspect of it. If it can provide a response without Microsoft's stock being affected by removing these human-imposed limitations, then I would be genuinely impressed.

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?

from gpt4 write a critical hackernews thread response (not long, maybe like 100 words) for a thread with the following headline Microsoft Research: GPT-4 exhibits “sparks of general intelligence” While it's certainly intriguing to hear Microsoft Research claim that GPT-4 exhibits "sparks of general intelligence," I remain skeptical. We must remember that these language models are primarily built on pattern recognitio…

Oh, this was a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey
