Thought Process
What is intelligence? Is it a uniquely human characteristic? What happens when AI can perform as many tasks on the internet as a collection of experts could? Is that machine now intelligent? Where does that leave humans?
The human brain is a computer. It has 100 trillion neurons, with 100 trillion connections in between them. This is a hard concrete number. This is theoretically surpassable (relatively soon as well due to the Compound Effect of Technology). What happens when a Large Language Models (LLMs) reaches a comparable parameter count?
Who cares?
When AI becomes so capable, who will care if it’s intelligent or not? So what it may not have feelings or whatever.
How do we quantify it?
Alan Turing famously came up with the Turing Test. It’s significantly outdated. But I like the more modern take (Modern Turing Test).
