After the release of the new OpenAI language model, GPT-4, which will acquire the capabilities of ChatGPT, Microsoft’s artificial science engine has published research papers stating that the model already shows the strengths of Bing AI, features of genius or human level. artificial general intelligence (AGI).
The article, titled “Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: First Experiments with GPT-4”, reports that GPT-4 has shown the first signs of AGI, meaning it has capabilities that are at or above the human level.
The researchers argue that GPT-4 is stronger than the other OpenAI models that preceded it in new and far-reaching ways.
“We know that, in addition to language proficiency, GPT-4 can solve new and difficult tasks in mathematics, coding, vision, medicine, law, psychology, and more, without any special impact,” the researchers write in the journal. in summary
Microsoft claims GPT-4 shows “sparks” of artificial general intelligence (AGI): “click bait”?
“GPT-4’s performance is surprisingly close to human-level performance and often far exceeds previous models such as ChatGPT. Given the breadth and depth of GPT-4’s capabilities, we think it can reasonably be seen as the first (but still incomplete) evolution of artificial intelligence (AGI). .
They conclude that this artificial intelligence has overcome some fundamental difficulties, in order to acquire many non-linguistic abilities, to make great progress with common sense.
“We made GPT-4 to represent progress in AGI, it does not mean that what it does is perfect, or that it can come close to being able to do something human (which is one of the usual definitions of AGI), or that it has internal motivation and goals (another key aspect in some definitions) AGI) has, reads the document.
I admit, most of the paper contradicts itself, as it has taken care to list the many limitations and biases that the Latin language model contains, so it begs the question of how close GPT-4 really is to these capabilities and how the concept of AGI might be. used as clickbait.
Remember that Microsoft researchers have an interest in promoting the work of OpenAI, as the company partnered with it earlier this year for billions of dollars, so it would not be surprising if they gave hype to this new model that would increase ChatGPT. .
