          What you’re thinking of as AI is actually a narrower version, while true intelligence is termed AGI.

          Explanation:
          The term ‘AI’ refers (Artificial Intelligence) to computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, like recognizing patterns or making decisions. However, most AI systems are specialized and focused on specific tasks.

          On the other hand, ‘AGI’ (Artificial General Intelligence) refers to a higher level of AI that possesses human-like cognitive abilities. AGI systems would be capable of understanding, learning, and applying knowledge across a wide range of tasks, much like us.

          So, the distinction lies in the breadth of capabilities: AI refers to more specialized, task-focused systems, while AGI represents a more versatile and human-like intelligence.

            The term ‘AI’ (Artificial Intelligence) refers to computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence,

            That’s everything computers do, though, isn’t it? Pocket calculators from the '70s seem to fit this definition of AI. In the '60s, “computer” was a human job title.

          That’s not how ChatGPT works.

          GPT is an LLM that use RNN. An RNN (Recurrent neural network) is not an algorithm.

          Fair enough. What evidence have you got that it’s any different than what humans do? Have you looked around? How many people can you point to that are not just regurgitating or iterating or recombining or rearranging or taking the next step?

          As far as I can tell, much of what we call intelligent activity can be performed by computer software and the gaps get smaller every year.

        It’s a “gaps” problem.

        Creationism has the “god of the gaps” where every new fossil forces them to set the goalposts closer together.

        The people who think that human intelligence is something special have to adjust the spacing on the goalposts every time a corvid solves a new problem and every time someone figures out how to make a computer do something new.
