9 statements about Human Level Intelligence, every show
Nair: AI will probably reach human-level intelligence around 2030
“And actually, you know, it is, it's somewhere in the, like, twenty-thirty-ish thing that, like, it will probably reach, like, human level intelligence.”
Large language models are not the path to human-level intelligence
“LLMs are not the path to human level intelligence. LLMs work for discrete worlds. They don't work for continuous, high dimensional worlds, which is the case for video. And this is why LLMs do not understand the physical world and cannot be used in their curren…”
Achieving human-level AI within five to ten years is overly optimistic
“So reach human level intelligence within a decade. That may be optimistic, right? Five to 10 years would be if everything goes great, all the plans that we're, we've been making will succeed. We're not going to encounter unexpected obstacles, but that is almos…”
Evans: AI field lacks theoretical mathematics to chart progress toward AGI
“We don't have any kind of equivalent mathematics or any kind of equivalent chart that we could draw that says, well, AI is there, and we're here, and LLMs are in this place, and this is how fast it's going, and if it grows at the current rate, it will hit huma…”

LeCun: ChatGPT is not a major step toward human-level AI

“And so until we build systems that have some internal model of the world, it allows them to kind of simulate the world if you want, some way of generating actions on the world to use tools like a calculator or something of that, or interrogating a database or …”
Seth: Assuming human-level AI intelligence implies consciousness is unfounded
“And think that as systems increase in their level of intelligence at some point, usually the point at which we begin to approximate human level intelligence, the lights come on for that system and suddenly it is not only intelligent, it's also aware, but this …”
