The label "AGI", the way people use it, does not mean "artificial intelligence equipped with broad cognitive abilities, applicable to a wide range of new problems". Rather, it seems modeled on the genie from Aladdin. A omnipotent, omniscient, yet servile & benevolent entity.pic.twitter.com/KBYZthKIbW
It seems to me that the greatest obstacle to making progress towards AI of increasing flexibility & breadth (up to some 'generality' threshold) is the fundamentally incorrect conceptualization of intelligence that is propagated by these sci-fi memes, which is now pervasive
This is making it nearly impossible to have a conversion on this topic. Many people now think of "intelligence" as an intrinsic property of an algorithm, synonymous with "power over the world", that can be tweaked to reach arbitrarily high values. Like the height of a building
And many people are, accordingly, waiting for some kind of philosopher's stone, or lamp genie, of infinite intelligence and therefore infinite power. They don't quite know how to create it, but presumably all you need to do is figure out the correct series of incantations
Never mind that current AI algorithms have very close to zero flexibility and breadth today. We are at the "task-specific skills" stage (i.e. local generalization), and will stay there until we directly tackle to question of engineering broad, reusable cognitive abilitiespic.twitter.com/jkdH7Sdh6X
.. or that the 80 or so definitions of intelligence floating around are mostly worthless as a standard.
