Reply to comment by kaushik_11226 in The CEO of OpenAI had dropped hints that GPT-4, due in a few months, is such an upgrade from GPT-3 that it may seem to have passed The Turing Test by lughnasadh

Sure, we already have that. The question of the thread is about AI that can be considered equivalent to human intelligence, though. One of the issues is that it appears that, contrary to traditional approaches to understanding intelligence, emotions may be fundamental to it. That is, they're not separate from reasoning and thinking, they're necessarily integrated in that activity. The neuroscientist Antonio Damasio has spent his career on work that has revealed this.

That means that it's likely that, if you want to get anything like human intelligence, you're going to at least need something like emotions. But we have very little understanding of what emotions even are! And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Like I say, we've thus far been capable of creating intelligent systems that can do specific things very well, even better than a human sometimes, but we still appear miles off creating systems that can do all the things humans can. Part of the reason for that is because we don't understand the fundamentals.

I do think this enough. What we need is an A.I that can rapidly increase our knowledge of physics, biology and medicine. These things I do think have objective answers to them. True Human intelligence that is basically a human but digital seems like its very complicated and I don't think its that needed to make a world a better place. Do you think this can be achieved without a human level AI?

That's just not what I'm talking about, though. I agree we can create intelligent systems that are useful for specific things and do them better than humans. We already have them. We're talking about human-like general intelligence.
