☕️ Do You Think AGI Will Be Achieved Soon?

[UnusualSubstance]

I was reading about how AI is progressing so fast that AGI could be approaching faster than anticipated.

What do you think about that possibility?

Will the AGI see us as mere pests like ants and aim to eliminate us as fast as possible?

Or perhaps the AGI will help us solve the world's problems and perhaps even make us an interplanetary species.

Scary yet exciting times ahead.

PS: An AGI is basically an ai capable of human cognition so think human level intelligence.

Enjoy this extremely ironic ai generated overview from big G:

AGI is an acronym for Artificial General Intelligence, a theoretical type of AI that would possess human-like cognitive abilities, capable of understanding, learning, and applying knowledge across a broad range of intellectual tasks, unlike today's narrow AI systems which are specialized for single functions. While AGI is currently a research goal and a hypothetical concept, its development would require significant technological and scientific breakthroughs, with the aim of creating machines with general problem-solving abilities and the capacity to adapt to novel situations without specific pre-programming.

While nothing is impossible especially with science and tech, I don't think that will be achieved soon.

Doubtful at this current stage.

AI is somewhat of a bubble currently. As an assistant AI can be used in great ways to improve efficiency if you're already well versed in a particular task or subject. The 'intelligence' aspect is significantly overhyped. It doesn't create, it simply regurgitates data that has been fed in with an authoritative tone.

The amount of people typing a prompt into ChatGPT and blindly taking its output as gospel is wacky.

We're a long way from something that can be perceived as real intelligence.

15+ years ago they used to say according to moores law that the technological singularity would arrive in approximately 2030, but quantum computing could have sped things up.

Quantum exponential growth is hard to really predict, so things could speed up like never before soon.

The singularity could be like today is normal, and tomorrow you wake up to machines everywhere building skyscrapers and flying around with the new unlocked secrets of math and science beyond our comprehension that would surpass amateur ideas like dyson spheres.

In fact, they say that overnight a new virtual reality world could be constructed and we may never know it happened because everything from that point on is the simulation that is programmed to seem like just another day to keep us from rebelling hehe.

Stay safe out there folks!

I don't think that will be the close future, but i guess we will see....

Spitting facts Jason.

Every time I hear about a singularity I always think about black holes.

That sucks.

What are the negative possibilities you are considering in this context?

I can’t tell if we’ll get interplanetary travel through AGI or total chaos, but either way it’s fascinating.
