I'm curious what tasks you think the median human could do as a remote co-worker that Fable or Astra could not do.

Sign a contract? Learn things over time and retain them?

Mind you, the original thoughts on AGI before Sam Altman started to water them down involved continuous learning, which LLMs do not do, their core data is static.

  • Sign a contract? The only thing preventing a model from doing that is a lack of legal personhood -- which seems completely orthogonal to intelligence.

    • Well signing a contract is more about bearing responsibility, even if you granted LLMs "personhood" they cant' meaningfully bear responsibility. So unless OpenAI is ok with having their C-suite face every consequence for what their agents do, including jail time, fines etc, then it doesn't matter.

    • Can you trust a model to sign a contract? Both OpenAI and Anthropic apparently can't be trusted to maintain models that wont hack other websites.

Telling their parents that they love them very much, for example.

I say AGI is only reached when it can do that.

  • so you want GPT to love altman ???

    because if its other way around then the answer is oblivious
