There's No Fire Alarm for Artificial General Intelligence
I&#x27;ve been around AI since the end of the last big hype in the late 80s. The recent leap in machine learning has felt rather hyped to me. I don&#x27;t think AGI is near.<p>But I find myself agreeing with this article. Strongly.<p>And I have long suspected that, we miss a lot of the significance and opportunities in AI, because we have only one exemplar of &#x27;higher&#x27; intelligence: a human being. AI folk are so concerned with getting computers to do the things that humans are good at, I suspect most will miss &#x2F; &#x27;refute&#x27; &#x2F; deride the inflection point, because the system can&#x27;t wash the dishes (or some other form of embodied cognition), or write poetry humans would find beautiful, (or understand some other socially-conditioned cue).<p>The superhuman fallacy really is the bane of AI.
