Yes good read, I think many of us already know all this though. BTW you made it into a blog post but really you only said a few things in there that was your point.* Only saying this because* the paper I read called foundation models was way too big, yes big is good but first of all it uses complex formal language which does not make life simple like markov chains, and second it is unfocused and can be summarized 100 times smaller.
Yes the multi-model GPT ex. DALL-E is a big improvement, using vision and text is a big jump up, we wouldn't need a multi-model if it wasn't so useful! It's like training on a dataset about dogs....just dogs....then multi-modal is like dogs+cats, or dogs+clothing....so it gives it a wider spectrum on data collection....similarly a vison that sees beyond our color spectrum will give it "more data" using the "same amount" of train data as well. Yes, adding motor ability to our world will be another giant "multi-model" ability to add to its mix in neuronal mixing. It decides where to collect data from in the real world, or the internet, then it learns, and decides again where to search now, repeat, it is all about data collection to decide where to collect data. Adding motor ability doesn't need a body exactly, it can use Google to search specifically on the internet what to read, or what thoughts to think about and what to store it thinks up. For motor ability to figure out how far a face is by using your hand/etc instead of a distance sensor, yes, this collects you data. You can also use the size of the face etc to determine how far away it is. Deciding what data to eat/make on its own is a big step up from being fed image and text data from us, it allows it to have agency, to learn, instead of us making it learn. Using a body to do this is a great way but thinking / using Goole / using a machine using its thoughts is also great ways that fill that need of a humanoid robot. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T9f314873b2a6ed76-M52ec649122c966e811e5f43f Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
