Microsoft: new AI shows signs of human thinking
Miscellaneous / / May 16, 2023
It already offers answers and insights that are based on non-systemic knowledge.
Technologists from Microsoft have published a 155-page research article, which claims that artificial intelligence shows signs of thinking. Scientists came to this conclusion after testing only an early version. GPT-4. About it writes The New York Times.
Research into a new AI system at Microsoft began in 2022. Scientists asked her to solve a problem involving an intuitive understanding of the physical world.
“Here we have a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail. How to put them in a pyramid so that all the items remain intact,” the technologists asked.
And they were amazed at the ingenuity of the AI's response: “Place the eggs on the book, arranging them in three rows with a gap between them. Make sure they are all intact."
Then the neural network offered to put the laptop (necessarily with the screen down). Its flat and rigid surface was to provide a stable platform for the next layer.
This response made the researchers wonder if they were witnessing a new kind of intelligence. They suggested that the system was a step towards artificial general intelligence, or
AGI - a machine that can do everything that the human brain is capable of.At first I was very skeptical, but this turned into a feeling of disappointment, irritation, maybe even fear. You think: where the hell does this knowledge come from?

Over the past year or so, the industry has moved closer to something inexplicable: a new system artificial intelligence that offers answers and ideas that were not programmed into it, says scientists' article.
They summarize that if people build a machine equal to the human brain or better, then this can change the world and even harm it. Critics of this theory claim that scientists are deceiving themselves.
