a deep dive into speculations about AGI reveals that many AI practitioners have starkly different views on the nature of intelligence than do those who study human and animal cognition—differences that matter for understanding the present and predicting the likely future of machine intelligence.

My personal humble executive summary: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- The definition of AGI was adjusted accordingly to include only so-called “cognitive tasks.” DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis defines AGI as a system that “should be able to do pretty much any cognitive task that humans can do,” and OpenAI describes it as “highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work,” where “most” leaves out tasks requiring the physical intelligence that will likely elude robots for some time. The notion of “intelligence” in AI—cognitive or otherwise—is often framed in terms of an individual agent optimizing for a reward or goal. One influential paper defined general intelligence as “an agent’s ability to achieve goals in a wide range of environments”; another stated that “intelligence, and its associated abilities, can be understood as subserving the maximisation of reward.” Indeed, this is how current-day AI works—the computer program AlphaGo, for example, is trained to optimize a particular reward function (“win the game”), and GPT-4 is trained to optimize another kind of reward function (“predict the next word in a phrase”). --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Ho già detto in altre occasioni che una efficace caratterizzazione dei sistemi LLM è "macchine sofistiche", perché - perdonatemi la banalizzazione - per i sofisti non è importante comprendere la verità ma solo /dipinger(se)la/, /narrar(se)la/. Analogamente, più osservo il dibattito sulla AGI più mi convinco che si tratti solo e soltanto di meta-sofismo, ovvero sofismo sul sofismo, cioè sofismo al quadrato: non importa comprendere cosa sia l'intelligenza o cosa siano le capacità cognitive, i meta-sofisti l'intelligenza "se la cantano e se la suonano". Di questo stiamo parlando: meta-sofismo on steroids.
