There was a lot of hype back in 2014 about an AI chatbot called Eugene Goostman that was reported to have passed the Turing Test. However, this claim is dubious. Firstly, the chatbot’s English was limited, so Eugene was said to be Ukrainian in an attempt to make all his unavoidable mistakes in English be believable. Secondly, Eugene was said to be 13 years old so that his limited general knowledge of the world wouldn’t raise too much suspicion. Even with these restrictions, many people still suspected that they were talking to a chatbot. More recently, in early 2020, Google… Read more »
I’m always very disappointed when trying out a demo of the latest virtual assistant. They seem to be OK if you know it’s a bot and treat your questioning and interactions as such. But start to be more ‘human’, throw in a few subtle things that only a human seems to pick up on, and the game is over. I wonder if some of the projects around artificial intelligence learning more naturally, like a child learning naturally, over time, embodied and interacting in the real world (embodied cognition), would yield superior results at the end of the day? I… Read more »
2.6 billion is certainly an enormous number of parameters, and it’s very difficult and time-consuming for us to train AI models this big. But it’s still tiny compared to the human brain which has approximately a quadrillion parameters (1 followed by 15 zeroes), or more than 100,000 times bigger! So yes it’s quite likely that embodiment and lifelong learning through lifetime experience will be a useful way to train future AIs, but we probably need to be able to scale up the size of our AI models by many orders of magnitude first.
