Newton was correct but he of course knew, jack shit about the minds after his life. Mere, intelligent computer is what you are really asking. "High Speed morons was a phrase from science fiction gawd, Arthur C. Clarke. Thus, a very fast, very capable robot could beat a human soldier most of the time. Musk's neural-jacked humans may prove equal to the machinery and if I recall, Hawking also advocated something like that, 25+ years ago. Hence our species need for Magnus, Robot Fighter, 4000 AD! By the way, Magnus was trained in robot fighting by AI-Robots, A1, at his secret base under the Antarctic ice. AI, wanted to see the human species survive. Magnus often cut deals with robots because it was mutually beneficial.

Should we the give credit for discovering General Relativity to Einstein's teachers and not to Einstein? Since GPT4 went public one week ago people all over the world have been asking hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of questions and receiving good and sometimes brilliant answers but, considering the fact that one of the many things it was trained on was the entirety of Wikipedia, it would be impossible to prove that none of the questions it had been asked had the slightest similarity to something it was trained on. I know one thing for certain, if a human could answer questions and solve puzzles as well as GPT4 nobody would hesitate in judging him to be intelligent. I think it's only fair to use the same criteria for judging machines as we do for humans. As Martin Luther King said " I have a dream that one day the intelligence of beings will not be judged by the squishiness of their brains but by the content of their minds".... ah.... or at least he said something like that, I may have gotten one or two words wrong > I am really just insisting on sticking to the scientific attitude. It is not a scientific attitude to start an investigation of a machine's intelligence by insisting that the machine could never be intelligent. The double blind Turing Test is just a specific example of the scientific method, have 2 test groups and keep everything the same between them except for one thing and see what happens, in this case the one thing that is different is the squishiness of the brain. > I do not understand what I could saying that is so controversial...

Because if whenever GPT-4 came upon a board game problem like Chess or GO it called upon AlphaZero to provide the answer then it wouldn't be able to explain exactly why it made the move it did? But the same thing is true for human Chess grandmasters, when asked to explain why they made the move they did they can only give vague answers like " instinct told me that the upper left part of the board looked a little weak and needed reinforcing", he can explain why it turned out to be a winning move but he can't explain how he came up with the idea of making that move in the first place. People were always asking Einstein how he came up with his ideas but he was never able to tell them, if he had been then we'd all be as smart as Einstein.
