This breathless two-minute paper <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQE5CPxlBz0> references an arXiv preprint <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.12712.pdf> from Microsoft Research: Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4.
I highly recommend reading this paper. The researchers have taken Félix's suggestion to the next level and beyond. The preprint is 155 pages long, consisting of prompts to GPT-4 and analyses of results. The paper highlights the strengths and limitations of GPT-4 in far more detail than popular accounts. The sections on mathematics are particularly intriguing and mysterious. On the one hand, GPT-4 writes spectacularly well. I get a strong impression that its responses involve planning. But this impression seems to be misleading, as its math mistakes show. *Summary thoughts* I do not understand why GPT-4 (or its predecessors) can create coherent text with the limitations revealed in the paper. The more I learn about GPT systems, the more mysterious they seem. Nobody, including experts, can predict where all this will lead. Current AI research is true intelligent design :-) Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
