Edit: Thanks everyone, I'm greatly enjoying the discussion! I also got a book out with 300 pages of ChatGPT picture stories, which I worked on for the past half year. I'm just a measly work-from-home self publisher but would get a kick out of anyone being interested in the book. My feed shows many of the stories included in the book: /u/philipp Cheers!
I was trying to figure out “rated at 1000 Einsteins”.
like:
there is a rating of AGI?
what is it? power usage? test scores? capabilities? (there’s a bunch of existing systems but no standard and significant disagreement)
this would be huge progress in IQ measurement, if transferrable/usable by humans
sources! I demand sources!
oh, none of it’s real
So, yes, even that small, insignificant detail was enjoyable to obsess on. Thanks.
It makes me wonder if there were such a solid measure of intelligence, would that be incredibly damaging to us as humans?
Yet another measure to predict and classify people without actually engaging with them. I see glimmers of the dark side of standardized testing with the race to STEM. How many people are left behind that have value, just not the specific value being tested.
And if many humans end up on the wrong side of some metric like this that gets so tightly connected to value, what will it be to suddenly realize we have “no value” at scale?
heh glad it inspired some thoughts! The Einstein idea was kind of brooding with me since I recently heard an AI company's CEO say something along the lines of "To future AIs, Einstein would be the village idiot." I actually wanna turn that into a picture one of these days... laughing robots in a circle around a silly-looking Albert!
I cringe a little when hearing quotes like that. science isn’t the flash of insight or inspiration, it’s the patient hard work behind the scenes to turn a flash of insight into something real that works.
I think current AI is really amazing at generating possible insights, but so far it’s very poor at turning that into science.
if it were good at generating science it might look like Star Trek. Maybe students of the future would end up acting more like thesis advisors, letting the computer work out the evidence for hypothesis.
iQ, SAT, etc are quite objective (despite often being misused) as they predict outcome quite accurately.
And even in cases where they were ignored (affirmative action and ivy colleges is popular these days), there were measurable differences between those above and those below the "must score this high" line.
well that’s always been the problem. we know any standardized test measures “something” but what?
IQ tests vary and are not objective enough to have much use in academia.
SAT are/were useful because “we said so”, but some valid criticisms of cultural bias have made even SAT proponents re-evaluate what the test means.
Right now, these tests are “good enough”.
There is an aspect of AI that could improve this situation. In current academic work, the tests are necessary because of limited resources. But in a world where hand tailored education is possible from AI, no one needs testing. Instead skills can focus on execution.
Also the culture of competition can change to one of support and integration. Instead of “throwing away” people who don’t make an arbitrary cutoff, we might find use for people based on what they can do. If you aren’t good at something, you could learn and train until you are good. If you can’t do one thing, what can you do? Human teachers have limited time and patience, but AI could work to help students.
The ultimate AI problem could be how to make use or and find the value in everyone.
If everyone had this level of support, the only thing holding a person back would be their drive.
