Don’t we all known someone who is very widely read, but makes the occasional error or mistake? Gets confused about something, or is asked about a discipline they don’t understand or haven’t researched very deeply? Maybe they misremember a date here or there, but are otherwise fairly intelligent? Maybe they work a data entry job making a middle class salary.

This is basically where ChatGPT is at. It’s a very widely read person with an excellent memory and quick mind. It’s probably smarter than the average human (certainly in breadth, often in depth), not to mention a comparison of it to the average human globally.

ChatGPT is smarter than the average human already. It doesn’t need agency or a soul to do so. We already have AGI, we just keep moving the goal posts.

We’ve had AGI since 2017. I find it very hard to take AI predictions seriously unless this fact is acknowledged.

[jononor]

Which AGI are you referring to?

[staticman2]

Well, the people working on the state of the art in the field don't seem to think so.

In general I agree with you, but I think we need to figure out how to do really long context lengths before that's really true. A sci fi AI with a real identity would be able to relate to everything that happened in its "life", not just the last 4k tokens.

LORAs are kinda able to do that.
