Is GPT3 Intelligent?

The magic of Turing universality means that you know even a very modestly powerful algorithm can approximate any other possible algorithm. If we look at the brain there doesn't actually seem to be any module for like logical reasoning for like simple manipulation whatever and so in many ways it looks like we are using a completely different mechanism to approximate a simple manipulation algorithm which is not that surprising. The strong scaling hypothesis is that once we find a scalable architecture like self-attentional convolutions which like the brain can be applied fairly uniformly then ever more sophisticated behavior will emerge naturally, says kurjueli.
