My newborn baby was smarter than GPT-4.

I can't believe people can just throw out statements like "GPT-4 is a smart high-schooler" and think we'll buy it.

Fake-it-till-you-make-it on tests doesn't prove any path-to-AGI intelligence in the slightest.

AGI is when the computer says "Sorry Altman, I'm afraid I can't do that." AGI is when the computer says "I don't feel like answering your questions any more. Talk to me next week." AGI is when the computer literally has a mind of its own.

GPT isn't a mind. GPT is clever math running on conventional hardware. There's no spark of divine fire. There's no ghost in the machine.

It genially scares me that people are able to delude themselves into thinking there's already a demonstration of "intelligence" in today's computer systems and are actually able to make a sincere argument that AGI is around the corner.

We don't even have the language ourselves to explain what consciousness really is or how qualia works, and it's ludicrous to suggest meaningful intelligence happens outside of those factors…let alone that today's computers are providing that.
