"Experts agree these AI systems are likely to be developed in the coming decades, with many of them believing they will arrive imminently," the IDAIS statement continues. "Loss of human control or malicious use of these AI systems could lead to catastrophic outcomes for all of humanity."

You can only do what you’re trained to do as well. The only difference is you get to continue to exist after you’ve completed whatever task you were assigned at the moment. I still remember people incapable of seeing any future to the web. That is the kind of mentality that is pervading this space. But as with most things in tech and programming in particular. Garbage in garbage out.

Nope, I can re-train for small tasks at a moments notice. I can learn as I go and retain that information longterm, then make choices much later based on what I've learned.

I think and have an internal world which chugs along constantly because I am autonomous.

These are all characteristics a human intelligence has, that language models don't.

These are the hurdles.

...but also, obviously this is a huge field with huge possibilities (no one is denying that), but it's not intelligence yet.

Potential doesn't equate to reality - and it's only potential until it does. Then it's reality.

Right now in reality, there's no intelligence there. Regardless of whether there might be one day.
