It's not "absurd." Or at least, it isn't unless you misconstrue what's actually being said. Eliminating hallucinations and being perfect and omniscient aren't the same thing. It's not about being 100 percent perfect, but simply that the points for which It's docked won't be the results of hallucinations. Maybe it won't know an answer, and will say "I don't know." Maybe it will have an opinion on something subjective that's debatable, but that opinion doesn't include hallucination and is simply a shit take like human beings might have.

I am particularly excited for transhumanism. Imagine a world in which you can be whatever you want, in the most literal sense of the phrase. Oh and space colonization, which relates to transhumanism, because once we are capable of living there without a life support system, colonizing space becomes relatively trivial.

GPT3 is very similar to ChatGPT, to my knowledge, and that had been out since 2020, 2 years before the survey.

>most people hadn't used gpt 3 before that.

The people who were surveyed were researchers and experts who most likely had familiarity with GPT3.

I don't really think the advent of ChatGPT would have shortened timelines all that much had the survey been conducted after it was released, if I'm being honest.

Intelligence:

  1. Automation from intelligence. A new golden age.
  2. Ability to terraform Mars and Venus.
  3. Send probes to other star systems, and later send machines to terraform them.
  4. Spread life throughout the universe.
  5. No more over population because AGI will supply low cost mates.
  6. 3d cities.
  7. An end to absurdities like climate change disaster and standard model particle physics (there are only standing EM waves).
