My personal humble executive summary:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

The definition of AGI was adjusted accordingly to include only so-called
“cognitive tasks.” DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis defines AGI as a
system that “should be able to do pretty much any cognitive task that
humans can do,” and OpenAI describes it as “highly autonomous systems
that outperform humans at most economically valuable work,” where “most”
leaves out tasks requiring the physical intelligence that will likely
elude robots for some time.

The notion of “intelligence” in AI—cognitive or otherwise—is often
framed in terms of an individual agent optimizing for a reward or
goal. One influential paper defined general intelligence as “an agent’s
ability to achieve goals in a wide range of environments”; another
stated that “intelligence, and its associated abilities, can be
understood as subserving the maximisation of reward.” Indeed, this is
how current-day AI works—the computer program AlphaGo, for example, is
trained to optimize a particular reward function (“win the game”), and
GPT-4 is trained to optimize another kind of reward function (“predict
the next word in a phrase”).

Ho già detto in altre occasioni che una efficace caratterizzazione dei
sistemi LLM è "macchine sofistiche", perché - perdonatemi la
banalizzazione - per i sofisti non è importante comprendere la verità ma
solo /dipinger(se)la/, /narrar(se)la/.

Analogamente, più osservo il dibattito sulla AGI più mi convinco che si
tratti solo e soltanto di meta-sofismo, ovvero sofismo sul sofismo, cioè
sofismo al quadrato: non importa comprendere cosa sia l'intelligenza o
cosa siano le capacità cognitive, i meta-sofisti l'intelligenza "se la
cantano e se la suonano".

Di questo stiamo parlando: meta-sofismo on steroids.
