Take ChatGPT back to the 2010s and they'd think AGI arrived, says Altman

Altman seeking to shift the goalposts of what AGI is like he (and others) shifted the goalposts of what 'AI' is.

Did ChapGPT come up with this strategy? It sounds very generative.

I wish he would abandon the AGI thing and focus on making people’s lives better. Instead of trying to replace good paying white collar jobs and artists, target boring or dangerous jobs for AI augmentation.

Nice try but you're not getting out of the Microsoft agreement that easily.

So, it’s an interesting comment, because; if it is AGI, fine? But then it has the set of capabilities it does, and then does that just mean AGI is a stochastic parrot? It feels like people are waiting for a binary that once we cross it, it’s essentially smart or “human like” and that’s what agi is, but loosely ruminating on the words “artificial general intelligence” it seems like it could be that.

But it’s an interesting marketing strategy, because it seems like it could undermine excitement in AI to say AGI has arrived. Is the whole thing to say “we’re just 2 years away from something truly amazing!”

Maybe an interesting question is it in 2010 they decided it was AGI would there have been a takesies backsies moment x years later.

yeah, for the same 3 days everyone hoped it had when it was hyped to the ignorant public a year ago.
