Episode notes
Compute Power and AGI
- Simply increasing compute power won't create AGI.
- We don't fully understand the underlying mechanisms of human creativity and explanation.
GPT-3's Limitations
- GPT-3 can generate impressive text, but it lacks true understanding.
- Follow-up questions reveal its inability to provide explanations or make predictions.
