its not a very effective one, as we've seen. that AI speculation takes it as a sacred cow implies to me its the best one they can come up with, or that they don't really care about accurately quantifying intelligence. both these things make me want to dismiss it completely

To my knowledge, no machine learning researcher uses IQ to benchmark their models.

You could absolutely create an AI that solved Raven's Progressive Matrices with superhuman ability... and then watch it fail at things that even very stupid teenagers do with ease. That's because something very different is going on between machine and human intelligence.

Stupid human teenagers are rapidly running out of emulation-intractable specialisms.

Not really. AI has proved very effective at winning Chess, Jeopardy and Go, but it has done very little in the grand scheme to replace stuff that humans do. In the near- to medium-term it's mainly low-hanging fruit like search engine optimization that's at risk of replacement.

I hate these discussions we're expected to choose between saying AGI isn't possible and GI is perfectly measurable, reducible to game winning etc. the fact that AI that does these things isn't good at anything else means Nick is, concretely, wrong about what intelligence is.

either that, or the whole paradigm of "AI in a lab" is mistaken.

You're committing a well-known fallacy in sciences, overextending cases to paradigms and paradigms to theories. It's not either this or that. Sci doesn't work like that. The failure of A doesn't lead to the endorsement of B. Nor does the failure of a thesis is a final decree.

To be honest, did you get your scientific education from an art school?

I have a single degree in computer science, if that matters at all.

It's not bad, it's not horrible.
