I don’t mean to shift the goalposts so much as better specify them.
Ultimately, the sign I’m looking for to confirm we have true AI is the technological singularity when AI is able to iterate on itself (both software and hardware) and improve itself better than humans can, at an accelerating rate.
If AI ever gets to the point where we are, it will quickly surpass us just due to the way they improve and scale up vs how we do.
As long as they can’t do that, they are still missing something. They are good at what they do, returning an essay answer in seconds to any question that is accurate more often than not (depending on the question), but there’s parts of our circle in the venn diagram of capabilities that no AIs overlap with… Yet.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see it before I die though, because I think the circle of what’s possible with AI that we haven’t done yet surrounds our own circle entirely, at least until we connect our brains with theirs and transcend or something.
