The human brain is made of components, so why not an AI brain?
Comment on Generative AI's most prominent skeptic doubles down
br3d@lemmy.world 1 week agoIf AGI is made of components, you could argue that it isn’t “general”. Which would be fine, as most psychologists would say the same about human intelligence

Isn’t human intelligence exactly what most people mean by “general intelligence”? The real question is whether it can be created artificially.

Can you elaborate? I don’t get what you mean by this.

The idea of general intelligence (g) is that you’ve got some overall capacity that can be turned to any task. Human intelligence is probably much more like a big toolbox of skills, and though. I worry that people who get excited about AI are kidding themselves a bit as it isn’t going to be general - it’s going to be a toolbox at best: an LLM for writing, a totally different system for drawing… And at that point you’ve not got some special interesting AGI - you’ve just reinvented the idea of apps

I think you’ve misunderstood what AGI means.
