AI: Meaning of Intelligence After Chatbots 2024

What We Learned About Artificial Intelligence from AI Chat Bots in Past 3 Years (2022 to 2024)

• AI bots r tremesdouly useful, as of now, precisely because, they capture known human convo.
• What the author is wanting more, like, a thinking machine.
• Which, we don't have yet.
• And we dunno what thinking machine actually is, or if it is just gonna be like another human. Lots things we dunno yet.

• the AI bot revolution in past 2 years, is just another step in AI, and immensely interseting.
• The one before that, is AI beats human go board game champion.
• What chatGPT showed us is that, poetry, is actually fairly mechanical. No 'intelligence' needed, whatever that means.
• And same for convo.
• Which, we did not know before.
• Truly amazing.
• AI bot revolution in past 2 years.
• It can generate thousands of reasonable poems, in a min, or thousands of drawings, in a min.
• All reasonably good or average.
• Yet, the machine did it, mechanically.
• Shocked our understanding of intelligence, and refined it.

The Role and Limitations of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, in its current state, has proven to be tremendously useful, precisely because it adeptly captures and reflects known patterns of human conversation. Yet, what many seek — what some might call a thinking machine — remains beyond our reach. Such a construct has not yet come into being, nor do we truly comprehend what it would entail. Would it mirror human cognition, or evolve into something altogether distinct? There remains much we do not know.

The advancements in artificial intelligence over the past two years mark but one step along a fascinating journey of progress. Preceding this, we witnessed AI achieving mastery over humanity's finest players of the ancient game of Go — a feat many considered unattainable. More recently, technologies like ChatGPT have demonstrated that poetry, often regarded as a pinnacle of creative thought, can be rendered mechanically. Similarly, the art of conversation, once believed to require intelligence — whatever one means by that elusive term — has been shown to be no less systematic. Such realizations astonish us, for these were matters we did not yet understand.

It is, indeed, remarkable.

In the span of mere moments, these machines can generate thousands of poems, or produce an equal measure of artwork — each piece at least reasonably acceptable, some even quite good. Yet, these feats are achieved without thought, without intention — merely through mechanical processes.

The implications are profound. Such developments have, without question, shaken our understanding of intelligence. They compel us to reconsider long-held assumptions and refine our definitions of what constitutes thought, creativity, and the essence of humanity itself.
