here we go again: Sutskever to @NewYorker: "If you train a system which predicts the next word well enough, then it ought to understand"
ML fans when I show GPT-2 is clueless: GPT-2 is just system for predicting next words; not fair to ask more.https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1194391612735942656 …

Replying to @GaryMarcus @NewYorker
Without knowing what Sutskever had in mind, I think that depends on what you mean by "well enough". The word would have to be predicted based on a unified understanding. Current AI is not focused on producing unified models of the universe. Every sentient being has such a model.

Could you please define the term "sentient being"

I use it in the sense of a system that maintains a dynamic model of its environment, itself, and the interaction between them. In other words, a system that knows (in the sense of having a working model) what it is doing.
