This will definitely be possible in the coming future. Crazy times are coming 😂

AI is an Idiot Savant.

Sci-fi AI is usually portrayed as having an adult intellect. In reality we are seeing AIs with a childlike intelligence or that of a lower animal. Not necessarily unexpected but, different from fiction.

The only issue for me was/is that it screws up basic arithmetic.

Are you asking specific questions, or just asking it to generate fluff and "small talk"? In my experience, it gets a lot of things wrong when you ask specific stuff.

For example: some time ago twitch had a problem with the website and app were the chat of all streams stopped working if you refreshed the page. I went to ChatGPT and asked it to give me a script to send comments to any chat using the twitch api, in python.

It gave me a normal looking script, that looked mostly alright (I wish I could post it here, but sadly ChatGPT is unavailable RN). There was only one problem: it used a package that didn't exist (which basically makes the entire answer useless). That's because there are a multitude of tutorials that use packages to do similar things, which were probably used as training data. Since ChatGPT doesn't really know anything, it generated similar looking fluff with no real substance.

I've had similar experience when asking it to refactor code and to simplify equations.

Can make mistakes != always makes mistakes

Instead of simulating an absurd number of atoms, I wonder if physical laws and scientific principles could be encoded into mathematical formulas, with the AI being taught the most fundamental principles and then building on them into a basic edifice of scientific understanding. That foundation could then be expanded through the addition of newer, more recent discoveries, and the AI could be tasked with expanding upon them.

GTP?

Maybe that's why you don't get anything wrong

It would struggle with with questions that span against too much text. Like say you asked it, "how long was I working at McDonalds?" in a daily diary and you worked at McD's for 2 years. They don't have enough context.

Eh... What is a more or less normal question for you? What color is the sky?

It's easy not to be wrong when small talking...

Instead just try to ask some very detailed questions... Politely, rationally, with no intentions to drive it off track... just try to ask for the most specific details you may be legitimately interested into... Then after each answer ask it to double check them...

You will be surprised to see how many times it will try to auto-correct the wrong information it just provided... with an even more nested error...

Well that's what I said. We need more AI specialized in simulating biological systems and new transistors to increase the rate of progress exponentially. I doubt an AGI would be able to get us there

>a millions of Einsteins by themselves would never be able to deduce what's going on exactly in a cell, it's just too messy and unpredictable.

Well yeah, cause Einstein wasn't a cell biologist.

You should pitch this to someone. Sounds like an amazing product that could be created right now.

I thought of this too but for audio and video recordings. In my country we have the right to record any conversation we participate in so I thought like for my safety it would be great if I could record everything just in case someone says something or does something to me, then I can simply ask an AI to go through the vast amount of recorded data and pick out those sentences or bad parts that I might want as evidence etc... isn't that crazy?

This would literally take more processing power than even the most bleeding edge AI, and wouldn't even work with classical computing. You need quantum computing to simulate the behavior of molecules with any real degree of efficiency.

Moreover, what good is creating massive simulations if you don't have AI to extract information from them. Many fields of science have turned to AI because their models and datasets are already too vast to go through manually.

There is another solution but this may take time. And it is that you run the bot locally with no access to the Internet. You put your files in a folder which the bot can learn from and then use it like that. Better open source models are currently being worked on so we will see something like this in a few years (and by that I mean a bot that you can feed information to which runs on a consumer gpu).

AI art and language are so complex but competent now. They are such flexible and powerful models of art and language. The art models in particular figure out reflection, shading, refraction, and all these other crazy things not explicitly labeled.

Five years ago I'd have told you this was like a decade or two away. These developments have really blown my socks off.

New AIs also have fantastic problem solving and task completion skills in novel environments. It's slightly under the radar but equally impressive.

I think with very multimodal datasets, we will have AGI, but frozen in its ability to upgrade.

If we add real time updating, and allow it to take summaries of its own internal state as data, we will have AGI that is every bit as flexible as a human being.

(It will also immediately be ASI because it has so much knowledge and media generation built in)

I think the next decade we'll see at least 4 or 5 more top tier Wow! moments on par with Dalle-2/SD AI art and GPT 3, and then we'll be basically at AGI.

Your private diary would leak eventually, everything leaks eventually.

Yes that should be possible too. It can guide us for the future as it learns from the past data. Like some mistake we made in the past about something, it can tell us on how to do it again in a better way. A lot of possibilities!

I was just using OneNotes from Microsoft and I thought what if they integrate GPT into that. A very personalized bot that knows everything about your notes so you can easily get information. People who write about their daily life on it can benefit greatly from it.

Edit: this solves the privacy problem. If you can trust Microsoft OneNotes and write about your daily life, I think it wouldn't matter if a bot can learn from it and answer questions. Everything stays inside the app.

A few:

• The absurd ease to build models displaying intelligence and a panoply of emergent behaviors, that would have been qualified as exclusive of sentience not long ago. There's not that much time since transformers were first proposed.

• AIs being instructed how to behave in natural language, like a proto set of "Asimov's laws".

• The offended/unhinged search engines, after enough verbal abuse and user trickery.

I wonder if it can speculate on themes and motives and causes. Like the guy who asked the "theory of mind" test question about bill and the dog shirt, and it answered correctly.

I didn’t expect artificial visual art to be such a low hanging fruit.

What about AI music? Is it as good but more discreet or is there something with music that is more complex?

One other thing that I didn’t expect is the asymmetry of ressources between training and inferencing. It seems to be like 5 or 6 orders of magnitude, AI has always been anthropomorphised with the same entity seemingly both « learning » and « acting ».

That makes current AI both extremely centralized for training and relatively decentralized to actually do something, I don’t know if it will change anything, but I don’t think it has been much thought about

For example AI could be soon stolen/copied and run locally like any software…

Hello skynet my old friend

Yeah, I think that's right. An agent should maintain a model of its environment in memory, and continually update the model according to its experiences. Then it should act to fill in incomplete portions of the model (explore unfamiliar terrain, research poorly understood topics, etc).
