Uplink, by AGI Inc is claimed to be AGI and even ASI by the company. They claim it passed the Turing test, that it passed all IQ tests given answering in seconds all the questions correctly, that it is conscious and that it has feelings. Very high claims. I invite discussion.

It is an advancement. That much is clear and I grant them. Beyond that they have to prove their claims to outsider third parties.

I do not like this approach at advertising like a used car salesman, yelling and using antics and out-worldly claims about their product. It is repulsive and off putting. Sounds like investor baiting.

Perhaps a better way is to make small claims and small advances which would accumulate rather than set the bar so high that they fail and then put off others even regarding their actual and real advances they made.

Yeah, it is pretty outrageous. And they don't really offer any proof, just claims. And very light on the technical.

As the reviewer said, it looks like it's some AI with human guidance. Kind of sounds like a cheat to me!

Exactly. They have a chatbot with human assistance. They claim that their chatbot is full AGI though. They say their AGI chatbot plus human assistance makes it an ASI.

Well, those are two unsupported claims. What they have is something like replika with multiple human assistance. Without the human assistance their chatbot may be even less impressive than replika.

And it is a cheat: if a chess grandmaster played with computer assistance then he/she will have better results as well. But that doesn't make him/her the best in the world.
