It has digital memory of our knowledge, our intelligence as human beings. So you've trained, the thing has been trained on human knowledge. Well, is it really smart then? Is it intelligent? Exactly. It's very important to point out that if you are willing to call that intelligence in the Alan Turing sense, it certainly isn't intelligent in our sense because most of us have not read even the books on our own rather meager libraries with hundreds,. perhaps maybe thousands of books on them.
In our last episode we talked all about intelligence, specifically about what made us intelligent. In this episode we jump into artificial intelligence, and we're joined again by David Krakauer, President and William H. Miller Professor of Complex Systems at the Santa Fe Institute.
This episode was recorded before the release of GPT-4, so David doesn't mention it specifically, but he does take us through the history of artificial intelligence, from Alan Turing, all the way to machine learning and neural networks. And he's going to ask the question: Are we really building something that's intelligent, or are we just building mimics and parrots?
