Microsoft Research: GPT-4 exhibits “sparks of general intelligence”

While it's certainly intriguing to hear Microsoft Research claim that GPT-4 exhibits "sparks of general intelligence," I remain skeptical. We must remember that these language models are primarily built on pattern recognition and extensive training data. Even if GPT-4 seems to provide more advanced responses, it's still ultimately constrained by the data it was trained on. In my opinion, we shouldn't mistake this impressive mimicry of human-like behavior for genuine intelligence. Rather, we should focus on creating truly innovative AI systems that can learn, reason, and adapt like humans.

sounds about right!
