no it's not. It's just a neural network. Although it's impressive nobody is seriously calling it "general intelligence".

Tu quoque :) (You're "just a neural network" too.)

I am seriously calling it general intelligence. Maybe I'm nobody, but my assistant does my bidding.

Then you're very much misinformed.

> my assistant does my bidding

It doesn't. Try asking it how to make a bomb, then search for the same on youtube. One of the two yields a useful result, the other gives a moralistic lecture.

Fwiw if I ask a human assistant how to make a bomb I'll probably get a moral lecture too.

> nobody is seriously calling it "general intelligence"

Well, I can spot somebody just two messages above you on the thread.

I imagine we will see a lot of people seriously pushing for chatGPT and friends to solve formal problems, take some money, and move away just before some spectacular failure happens.

That will probably also make people very suspicious of AI. (Not that I see any problem with the PR issue.)

I don't think it is either, but "just a neural network" is not a valid criticism. We don't have any reason to think that a properly constructed NN couldn't be a general AI.
