Today’s most advanced AI models have many flaws, but decades from now, they will be recognized as the first true examples of artificial general intelligence.

You can’t actually teach it anything new, or to put it better it can’t actually derive conclusions by itself and improve in such way

That is true, at least after training. They don’t have any long-term memory. Short term you can teach them simple games, though.

Of course, this always goes into Chinese room territory. Is simply replicating intelligent behavior not enough to be equivalent to it? I like to remind people we’re just a chemical reaction ourselves, according to all our science.

It’s actually false. You can’t teach them long-term, but within the course of a conversation they can be taught new rules and behaviors. There’s dozens if not hundreds of papers on it.

Yeah, that’s what I said.

You’re right, apologies. Skimmed too hard

Yup, been there!
