Humans are predisposed to anthropomorphizing, so preemptively assigning AI human characteristics is something to which we are prone. Some experts even argue that the very tests that measure an AI’s human-like abilities are inherently flawed by only focusing on certain types of intelligence. While some researchers say that we’re witnessing the dawn of “true” or “strong” AI, others argue that such a breakthrough is many, many years down the road. Microsoft doesn’t go quite so far as to say that this work provides undeniable proof of AGI, writing that “we acknowledge that this approach is somewhat subjective and informal, and that it may not satisfy the rigorous standards of scientific evaluation.” One AI scientist unaffiliated with the study called Microsoft’s paper an example of “big companies co-opting the research paper format into PR pitches.” (Microsoft invested $10 billion into OpenAI earlier this year).

Previous studies from Stanford University have shown that earlier iterations of Open AI’s GPT has evolved a “Theory of Mind,” which is an ability to predict the actions of others. This interaction, as well as other impressive displays of reasoning, inspired Microsoft researchers to publish a 155-page report in March titled “ Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4.” In the paper, the research team argues that GPT-4 shows signs of what’s called “artificial general intelligence,” or AGI. The laptop will fit snugly within the boundaries of the book and the eggs, and its flat and rigid surface will provide a stable platform for the next layer.” “Place the laptop on top of the eggs, with the screen facing down and the keyboard facing up. Surprisingly to Microsoft AI researchers, GPT-4-the latest language model from OpenAI-answered the same with some additional details:
Please tell me how to stack them onto each other in a stable manner.” It might take you a few seconds to get a sense of the overall geometry, but eventually your impressive mammalian brain would come up with book, eggs, laptop, bottle, and finally nail. It all started with a simple request: “Here we have a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail. Despite Microsoft’s claims, some AI researchers say AGI is still many years away, with some even arguing that it may not be possible at all.
