alt Hacker NewsWhat is the point of comparing performance of these tools to humans? Machines have been able to accomplish specific tasks better than humans since the industrial revolution. Yet we don't ascribe intelligence to a calculator.
None of these benchmarks prove these tools are intelligent, let alone generally intelligent. The hubris and grift are exhausting.

The hubris and grift are exhausting.
And moving the goalposts every few months isn't? What evidence of intelligence would satisfy you?
Personally, my biggest unsatisfied requirement is continual-learning capability, but it's clear we aren't too far from seeing that happen.
> Machines have been able to accomplish specific tasks...
Indeed, and the specific task machines are accomplishing now is intelligence. Not yet "better than human" (and certainly not better than every human) but getting closer.
What's the point of denying or downplaying that we are seeing amazing and accelerating advancements in areas that many of us thought were impossible?
