Why ChatGPT might slow down AGI
In a new article for TechTalks, FutureAI CEO Charles Simon explains why ChatGPT, despite all its impressive achievements, might actually slow down the path toward artificial general intelligence (AGI).
“ChatGPT represents an incredibly powerful tool and a major advance in self-learning AI,” Simon writes. “But it makes only a pretense of actual understanding. It simply manipulates words and symbols. In fact, AI systems such as ChatGPT may be slowing the emergence of AGI due to their continued reliance on bigger and more sophisticated datasets and machine learning techniques to predict the next word or phrase in a sequence.”
To make the leap from AI to AGI, researchers ultimately must shift their focus to a more biologically plausible system modeled on the human brain, with algorithms that enable it to build abstract “things” with limitless connections and context, rather than the vast arrays, training sets, and computer power today’s AI demands.
