Maybe AI hasn't shown signs of true intelligence (2)

Published 10 May 2023

From Robin Shipp, Bristol, UK

I wonder if we are missing a point when we try to decide if a program like ChatGPT is intelligent? People seem to just ask it a question or set it a task and then sit back, open-mouthed at what comes back.

To be convinced an AI was really showing human intelligence, I would want to be able to challenge it. Where did you find this information? How have you made sure your sources are reliable? In particular, I would like to return the next day and start by saying: “Do you remember what we were talking about yesterday?”
