  OpenAI's GPT, Google's Bard, and Microsoft Sydney are the first signs of artificial general intelligence, but human brains are still qualitatively different and more capable of intellectual insight and creativity.

  • OpenAI's GPT, Google's Bard, and Microsoft Sydney are machine learning programs that generate human-like language and thought, considered as the first signs of artificial general intelligence.
  • Human brains are qualitatively different from machine learning programs like chat gbt, which limits their ability to achieve intellectual insight and creativity.

  AI lacks morality due to being programmed by humans who operate efficiently with small amounts of information and seek to create explanations rather than infer brute correlations amongst data points.

  • AI lacks in the area of morality as it is programmed by humans, and the human mind operates efficiently with small amounts of information unlike AI.
  • The human mind operates efficiently with small amounts of information and seeks to create explanations rather than infer brute correlations amongst data points.

  The speaker believes that while technology can surprise us and be effective in linear tasks, we should also have hubris about the ability of statistical pattern recognition to replicate the complexity of the human mind.

  Chomsky says AI language models like GPT-3 are impressive, but they can't fully understand language and chatbots will never be perfect.

  • Chomsky argues that while AI language models like GPT-3 can do impressive things, there is a last 10% of understanding language that is almost unsolvable.
  • Using a probability to predict the next response of a chatbot has hard limitations and will never be perfect.

  Self-driving cars excel on highways but struggle in cities due to difficulty reading traffic signals and lane closures.

  • Chat GPT has the potential to revolutionize industries such as journalism by aggregating information and upending business models, despite its limitations.
  • Self-driving cars can drive for hours on the highway, but struggle with city streets due to difficulties in reading traffic signals and lane closures.
• 🚗

  Self-driving cars still need human intervention and expertise, while 🤖 AI will revolutionize the legal profession by reducing document rework time.

  • The technology of self-driving cars is impressive, but it still requires human intervention and calibration of expectations, and while AI may be able to replace some tasks, there will still be instances where human expertise is necessary.
  • Automating early grunt work with AI will profoundly change the legal profession by reducing the time spent on reworking documents.
