Reply to comment by PM_ME_A_STEAM_GIFT in New agi poll says there is 50% chance of it happening by 2059. Thoughts? by possiblybaldman

Human level intelligence is typically not represented well by any measure of physical dexterity or speed.

What are you trying to say?

They're saying physical labor via robotics might be the last part of human capability to be replaced, which to be fair could be considered a form of intelligence.

The central argument is regarding the timeline of AGI. The incorporation (or not) of effectors and sensors is irrelevant.

How is that irrelevant exactly? What would humanity have achieved if all we had were minds floating in ether? For any sort of intelligent software to be civilization altering, it needs to have access to a shit ton of sensory data as input and robotics as output, ideally in real time. Otherwise you have a speech bot, which we already have. “Well, if we have AGI, it will figure out the rest” is one of the most intellectually lazy statements I’ve ever read anywhere and unfortunately it’s kind of like this sub’s one commandment. AGI without sensors isn’t intelligent; thoughts in a head aren’t intelligent without input or output. This is a fallacy. If you think this is the case, then ChatGPT should already qualify, why not call it for today?
