It’s really good at making us feel like it’s intelligent, but that’s no more real than a good VR headset convincing us to walk into a physical wall.

It’s a meta version of VR.

(Meta meta, if you will.)

    Where do you draw the line for intelligence? Why would the capacity to auto complete tokens based on learned probabilities not qualify as intelligence?
    This capacity may be part of human intelligence too.

      when it can come up with a solution it hasn’t seen before.

      that’s the threshold.

      that’s the threshold for creative problem solving, which isn’t all there is to intelligence, but i think it’s fair to say it’s the most crucial part for a machine intelligence.

        It can come up with a brand new sentence that hasn’t been written before. Does that count?

        Maybe you mean a solution to a textbook math/physics problem, it most likely would be able to solve that too with tool use.

        Or maybe you mean solving something like the Riemann Hypothesis?
