I struggle with this take as it’s not different from humans.

Am I intelligent at age 3? Then I learn language. Am I intelligent? Then I progress through education. I become more and more intelligent as I am exposed to more data.

I don’t know about computer science, so I go expose myself to computer science literature. I take courses, and see examples. What emerges is a “more intelligent” version of myself that.

What is intelligence, even?

Intelligence is the development of concepts through sensory-motor interaction with the environment.

Yes, things emerge. But gold isnt lead

I like this answer. Makes sense.

But doesn’t it imply that once we have something that can “see” its environment, hear nearby sounds, and have some sort of haptic sense — wouldn’t that be AI, then? Given your definition?

If, of course, such a thing used all that input to “create” concepts like its physical place within an environment, what may or may not come next given the interplay of those inputs, and how to navigate the environment based on all that.

But then I’d say, “GPT-4 can handle image data. And what might come in the future with more modalities?”
