I don’t believe AI progress is a linear line that ends in “AGI”. I think the current way we create LLMs will be improved, and improved, and improved. But an LLM at its core is a predictive chain, not general intelligence.
Well, we can’t even clearly define consciousness, so who’s to say complex large-input statistical computation isn’t it?
I have no idea. Anyone claiming to is hubristic.
“We can’t clearly define it so we should accept just about any definition of it” is certainly a position to take.
The burden of proof exists, it’s not hubristic to require it.
