> Are you implying that ChatGPT possesses "general intelligence"?

I am saying that it well could. We should probably agree on a definition of "general intelligence" though.

> It's very advanced statistical model/search engine.

That is just how the sausage is made. Of course there is no magic or soul or life spark in it- if that's needed to make AGI, then AGI is impossible.

> I mean it's both several magnitudes more 'intelligent' than humans in some ways and also more stupid in different ways.

Yes, definitely. But again, do you define AGI as average human equivalent intelligence? Shouldn't that deserve a different label (Average-Human intelligence maybe)?

I Sure, I can agree that it depending on how you defined intelligence it can be considered intelligent in a way.

> Of course there is no magic or soul or life spark in it- if that's needed to make AGI

I don't know. I mean maybe AGI is possible, but if the goal is to imitate humans rather than some other more practical purpose it would probably have to be very different from ChatGPT.

Trying to compare it to average human intelligence is not even apples to oranges in my opinion. It's something completely different yet superficially similar to the way how humans think (due to obvious reasons)
