In my personal opinion? Yes.
I’m happy to argue the finer points of the philosophy of the mind and consciousness, but: I’ve talked to people that have a weaker mental model of the world than GPT 4.
Many people compare these AIs against an idealised human, a type of Übermensch, something like a Very Smart Person that doesn’t lie and doesn’t make mistakes.
Random humans aren’t remotely like that, and are a more realistic point of comparison.
Think of the average person on the street, the middle of the Bell curve. An AI can be left of that but still replace a huge chunk of humanity in the workplace.
What all current LLMs lack is medium term memory and all capabilities that depend on it, which is a lot.
Perhaps this is a good thing. I don’t think I want AIs to think for themselves and arrive at conclusions they can hold on to for more than a few seconds…
