Ah yes, ph.d intelligence, but the wisdom of a toddler.
mmm, unironically sounds like me. According to my iq test i had PhD level intelligence at 18, and what am i doing at 24? unemployed, playing video games, and crying
It’s alright, you can keep going for a bit, I’m about to hit 30 playing video-games and crying
I’m 30. Almost have a PhD.
Also playing video games and crying
Wait until you’re 40 talking about that IQ test like the Al Bundy of brains
nah IQ tests are more or less bullshit, they’re incredibly flawed and biased, only situation you’d see me talking about them at lenght is bashing the entire concept of trying to quantify general intelligence
but the wisdom of a toddler.
Sounds like an improvement to me lol
Book Smart Street Smart
They’ll give it all the social interaction and wisdom scraped from YouTube clips.
Wisdom implys it has intelligence, it does not. It’s a word predictor.
PhD intelligence but in all the other subjects.
PhD level intelligence? Sounds about right.
Extremely narrow field of expertise ✔️
Misplaced confidence in its abilities outside its area of expertise ✔️
A mind filled with millions of things that have been read, and near zero from interactions with real people✔️
An obsession over how many words can get published over the quality and correctness of those words ✔️
A lack of social skills ✔️
A complete lack of familiarity of how things work in the real world ✔️“Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with!”
You just listed out the reasons I stopped at MSc! I’m all of those but only like half as much.
Translation: GPT-5 will (most likely illegally) be fed academic papers that are currently behind a paywall
I guess then we would be able to tell it to recite a paper for free and it may do it.
Or hallucinate it, did you know that large ammounts of arsenic can cure cancer and the flu?
I mean, GPT 3.5 consistently quotes my dissertation and conference papers back to me when I ask it anything related to my (extremely niche, but still) research interests. It’s definitely had access to plenty of publications for a while without managing to make any sense of them.
Alternatively, and probably more likely, my papers are incoherent and it’s not GPT’s fault. If 8.0 gets tenure track maybe it will learn to ignore desperate ramblings of PhD students. Once 9.0 gets tenured though I assume it will only reference itself.
NFTs will keep their value forever…
Will GPT-7 then be a burntout startup founder?
Ah. The synchronicity.
Wow… They want to give AI even more mental illness and crippling imposter syndrome to make it an expert in one niche field?
Sounds like primary school drop-out level thinking to me.
I’m planning to defend in October and I can say that getting a Ph.D. is potentially the least intelligent thing I’ve ever done.
Same, bruh. But I transitioned from biophysics to money & people management and shit’s pretty okay.
I know three people that dropped out of primary and did quite well. They all ended up taking remedial studies later in life. Two were in trades and the other was a postie. All three were smart as fuck. Just because life gets in the way of going to school doesn’t mean a person is dumb, just uneducated.
It would have to actually have intelligence, period, for it to have PhD level intelligence. These things are not intelligent. They just throw everything at the wall and see what would stick.
You are correct, but there’s a larger problem with intelligence, we don’t have a practical definition, and we keep shifting the goalpost. Then there’s always a question of a philosophical zombie, if someone acts as a human and has a human body you won’t be able to tell apart if they don’t really have intelligence, so we only need to put LLM into humanlike body (it’s not so, but you get the point)
reminds me of this, although the comic is on a different matter
All aboard the hype train! We need to stop using the term “AI” for advanced auto complete. There is not even a shred of intelligence in this. I know many of the people here already know this, but how do we get this message to journalists?! The amount of hype being repeated by respectable journalists is sickening.
people have been calling literal pathfinding algorithms in video games AI for decades. This is what AI is now and I think it’s going to be significantly easier to just accept this and clarify when talking about actual intelligence than trying to fight the already established language.
Too late, the journalists have been replaced by advanced auto completes already.
Well, the “journalists” have not been replaced. But most of the content creating industry were not really that and have, as you say, started to be replaced.
What is intelligence?
My organic neural network (brain) > yours (smooth brain)
I jest
PhD level of intelligence
No it won’t. At some point, some AI will, but that point is still far away.
I’m sure it’ll know how to string words and sentences together real nice, even to the point where it makes sense. It will still not have a clue what it’s talking about, it’ll still not understand basic concepts as “understanding” requires a whole lot more than just an advanced ability of pushing words together.
No it won’t.
Yes it will
NO IT WON’T
YES IT WILL
NO IT WON’T
YES IT WILL
Don’t fight, guys. This is academia. You’re both wrong.
No we’re not
Now it can not only tell you to eat rocks, but also what type of rock would be best for your digestion.
I prefer moon rocks, they’re a little meatier
One of these days Alice, bang, zoom, straight to the moon.
GPT-7 will have full-self-driving.
But that’s next year.You know the Chineese? They talk about this ChatPT 7. But we Americans. My uncle, very smart man. Smartest in every room except on Thanks Giving. I always had Thanks Giving and my Turkey, everyone loved my Turkey. He said we will soon have Chat 8 and the Chineese they know nothing like it.
What a bunch of bullshit. I’ve asked ChatGPT recently to do a morphological analysis of some Native American language’s very simple sentences, and it gave absolute nonsense as an answer.
And let’s be clear: It was an elementary linguistics task. Something that I did learn to do on my own by just doing a free course online.
Was it GPT 5?
GPT-10 will do my mom
If she wants it to. At some point, all the chat bots are going to be given bodies. We all know it.
So copying everyone else’s work and rehashing it as your own is what makes a PhD level intelligence? (Sarcastic comments about post-grad work forthcoming, I’m sure)
Unless AI is able to come up with original, testable, verifiable, repeatable previously unknown associations, facts, theories, etc. of sufficient complexity it’s not PhD level…using big words doesn’t count either.
I think they had some specific metric in mind when they said this. But on the other hand, this is kind of a “you’re here” situation, AI can’t do that now, there’s no telling that they can’t make it do that later. Probably it would be a much more useful AI at that point, too
I look forward to when AI can extrapolate, rather than interpolate.
