Episode notes

Gpt three has no memory, so it doesn't remember what you just talked about one question before. I'm doing an art project around that notion. And i do think that ultimately the answer to a i is going to come from merging at least some of the insights from the gpt tradition with some of the more classical a i tradition. But i don't think it's going to come literally merging gpt with these other systems because gpt does not have the internal representations that you need.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere around us. Deep-learning algorithms are used to classify images, suggest songs to us, and even to drive cars. But the quest to build truly “human” artificial intelligence is still coming up short. Gary Marcus argues that this is not an accident: the features that make neural networks so powerful also prevent them from developing a robust common-sense view of the world. He advocates combining these techniques with a more symbolic approach to constructing AI algorithms.
