Panic not! – says a report in Nature, LLM’s will not have the ability to match or even exceed human beings on most tasks. “Scientific study to date strongly suggests most aspects of language models are indeed predictable,” says computer scientist and study co-author Sanmi Koyejo. Emerging artificial “general” intelligence is no longer apparent when systems are tested in different ways. This “emergence”, when AI models gain knowledge in a sharp and predictable way is nothing more than a mirage with systems’ abilities building gradually.
So What?
Models are making improvements but they are no where near approaching consciousness, perhaps benchmarking needs more attention paid to it – working on how tasks fit into real world activities. Link to article.
