    I’ve been working extensively with gpt4 since it came out, and it ABSOLUTELY is the engine that can power rudimentary AGI. You can supplement it with other tools, and give it a memory… ZERO doubt in my mind that GPT4-powered are AGI.

      I disagree, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see! I do hope you’re wrong, as my experience with ChatGPT has shown me how incredibly biased it is and I would rather hope that once we do achieve AGI, it doesn’t have a political agenda in mind.

          They seem to be patching it whenever something comes up, which is still not an acceptable solution because things keep coming up. One great example that I witnessed myself (but has since been patched) was that if you asked it for a joke about men, it would come up with a joke that degraded men, but if you ask it for a joke about women, it would chastise you for being insensitive to protected groups.

          Now, it just comes up with a random joke and assigns the genders of the characters in the joke accordingly, but there are certainly still numerous other biases that either haven’t been patched or won’t be patched because they fit OpenAI’s worldview. I know it’s impossible to create a fully unbiased… anything (highly recommend There is No Algorithm for Truth by Tom Scott if you have the interest and free time), but LLMs trained on our speech have learned our biases and can behave in appalling ways at times.

            Worse, the majority of the data used by LLMs comes from the internet; a place that often brings out the worst and most polarized sides of us.
