The release of GPT-4 has sparked much discussion about the possibility of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It's obvious that GPT-4 and similar large language models are not intelligent, and in fact, can be pretty stupid. But they are also capable of producing output that on the surface can appear to be similar to what a human might produce.
I just watched a video (embedded below) by Till Musshoff that discusses this topic in light of current research into artificial intelligence. My feeling, up until now, is that we are nowhere near AGI, but after watching the video, I'm not so sure.
The video's description on YouTube includes links to the cited articles if you want to dig deeper. Watch it and let me know what you think.
There have been 4 research papers and technological advancements over the last 4 weeks that in combination drastically changed my outlook on the AGI timeline.
GPT-4 can teach itself to become better through self reflection, learn tools with minimal demonstrations, it can act as a central brain and outsource tasks to other models (HuggingGPT) and it can behave as an autonomous agent that can pursue a multi-step goal without human intervention (Auto-GPT). It is not an overstatement that there are already Sparks of AGI.
