Do we have a reasonable definition for what intelligence is? Is it like defining porn, you just know it when you see it? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

OpenAI defines AGI as a "highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work" [0]. It may not be the most satisfying definition, but it is practical and a good goal to aim for if you are an AI company. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My personal definition is "The ability to form models from observations and extrapolate from them." LLMs are great at forming models of language from observations of language and extrapolating language constructs from them. But to get general intelligence we're going to have to let an AI build their models from direct measurements of reality. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

LLMs have demonstrated that "intelligence" is a broad umbrella term that covers a variety of very different things. Think about this story https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44845442 Med-Gemini is clearly intelligent, but equally clearly it is an inhuman intelligence with different failure modes from human intelligence. If we say Med-Gemini is not intelligent, we will end up having to concede that actually it is intelligent. And the danger of this concession is that we will under-estimate how different it is from human intelligence and then get caught out by inhuman failures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> Is it like defining porn I guess when it comes to the definition of intelligence, just like porn, different people have different levels of tolerance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
