         | Biological intelligence is the result of a set of connected
         | modules with specific capabilities that are individually not
         | intelligence, but which in cooperation allow for behavior we
         | consider intelligent. However actual human intelligence is
         | error prone. We are easy to fool into a variety of silly
         | mistakes by a variety of means, including misleading prompts.
         | 
         | For example person who just said "spot" 10x when asked what to
         | do at a green light usually says, "Stop!" Likewise a person who
         | has just spelled "silk", "S-I-L-K", when asked what cows drink
         | usually says, "milk".
         | 
         | The behavior of LLMs like ChatGPT are very similar to what is
         | observed from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-
         | brain_interpreter in humans. Complete with immediate facile
         | explanations that hallucinate facts not in evidence. We do
         | better than ChatGPT on this in large part because other parts
         | of our brain supply immediate fact checks for a lot of the
         | obvious mistakes. Similarly ChatGPT when combined with tools
         | and patterns of when to check them also improves dramatically
         | in the quality of its output.
         | 
         | Therefore I agree that ChatGPT is NOT AGI. But we may be far
         | closer than you think to having a bunch of components which,
         | when wired together right, DO act like something that
         | reasonably should be called AGI. Whether it is becomes a
         | definitions game. And I foresee a period of apparent infinite
         | regress of changing definitions for people to justify that we
         | don't have AGI, until we're faced in finite time with what has
         | become clearly a superhuman intelligence.

           | I think a big difference is that humans have the ability to
           | introspect, and examine their own mental processes to see how
           | they drew a conclusion and what information went into it. We
           | can then choose to update our behavior. Sometimes we
           | "hallucinate" that information, but we do have some level of
           | insight into ourselves. ChatGPT has no ability to examine
           | itself, and in fact has no idea what it is doing. This, I
           | believe, is a big shortcoming of neural nets in general. If
           | we could overcome this hurdle, I think it would be a lot
           | closer to an AGI.

             | Interesting - it reminds me of the 'strange loopiness' in
             | Douglas Hofstadter's books - we have a model of 'I' that
             | reflects in on itself.
             | 
             | We obviously have a huge evolutionary pressure for having a
             | semi-accurate internal model of ourselves that we can use
             | to project out into the future and avoid possible harm - I
             | guess there is no similar pressure / incentive for LLMs.

             | Neuroscientists who have attempted to compare what people
             | think about how we think and how we ACTUALLY think have
             | concluded that self-reports are entertaining to listen to,
             | but not very informative. That is, we have more of an
             | illusion of introspection than a reality.
             | 
             | The level at which we ARE self-aware of our own thinking
             | does not seem to me to be more impressive than the ability
             | of something like ChatGPT to generate training data that
             | can in turn be used to help create much smaller models with
             | similar capabilities, or future models with better ones. In
             | other words LLMs are capable of some form of learning
             | through introspection, and we do not appear to be close to
             | the limits of how much self-improvement they are capable
             | of.
             | 
             | But https://simonwillison.net/2023/Mar/17/beat-chatgpt-in-
             | a-brow... suggests that for less than the average
             | developer's salary we could develop something equivalent to
             | ChatGPT in a browser. And better systems are coming soon.

             | This isn't 100% true.... I think people are using something
             | called the Reflexon model where you ask GPT for an answer,
             | then feed that answer back to GPT and ask what is wrong
             | with it allowing self examination and a significant
             | improvement of its previous answer.
             | 
             | Now, GPT has no method of long term learning by
             | reincorporating these answers back into its system to
             | improve its future behavior, which is a huge limitation.

               | From the paper, seems like Reflexion is an outer loop
               | that provokes GPT to re-evaluate itself, which says
               | nothing about the self-reflective capabilities of the
               | actual GPT model.
               | 
               | But overall, I find there's a bit of a boundary problem
               | when considering current ML models. Is GPT considered
               | self-reflective if we embed it in a system that mimics
               | such an ability?
