close, but certainly no cigar
choice quotes:
Why is it impressive that a model trained on internet text full of random facts happens to have a lot of random facts memorized? … why does that in any way indicate intelligence or creativity?
That’s a good point.
you don't fucking say
I have a website (TrackingAI.org) that already administers a political survey to AIs every day. So I could easily give the AIs a real intelligence test, and track that over time, too.
really, how?
As I started manually giving AIs IQ tests
oh.
Then it proceeds to mis-identify every single one of the 6 answer options, leading it to pick the wrong answer. There seems to be little rhyme or reason to its misidentifications
if this fuckwit had even the slightest fucking understanding of how these things work, it would be glaringly obvious
there's plenty more, so remember to practice stretching before you start your eyerolls
I miss the days when GPT would make an explicit point within a decent fraction of its answers that it was only a large language model, and not a general purpose intelligence, because those are two very very different (if very similar-seeming to initial human perception) things.
It seems that the inexorable tide of misperception that that was a futile attempt to forestall has come in.
I feel like it was all over from the moment they made it talk in first person. No one had any illusions that Inferkit or NovelAI were general intelligences, because it was obvious that they were just language models autocompleting a sentence you typed in.
