Well again the problem is thinking that science is about gathering data and doing measurements. That doesn't really help with figuring out how things work.

No, AI is not some magic that can magically fix everything. Treatments are ineffective because we have no idea how they work. What they typically do in medicine and psychology/psychiatry is that first they label and categorize a disorder, and do all sorts of blind trial-and-error to see what "works". Obviously this is a very inefficient way of doing things. What they need to be doing is to figure out how a disorder works.

Then what is the worst iPhone?
Shiningc t1_j7u7fcs wrote
Last gen specs, plastic exterior, no TouchID for only $100 cheaper. You might as well just get a normal iPhone 5.
Ironic that iPhone 14 has last gen CPU…

AI yes, AGI no. That would be the same thing as controlling humans. AGI and human intelligence are indistinguishable from each other.

That is what Turing complete means. We're assuming that a Turing computer is capable of doing any kind of computation that is physically possible. Of course, it needs a quantum computer to do quantum calculations, so the Church–Turing–Deutsch principle states that it needs a quantum computer in order to truly execute every physical calculation possible, but that's whole another beast. Turing-complete just means minus the quantum processes.
It is possible that the human brain is doing some sort of quantum calculations, but most would probably doubt.
>There is no evidence to suggest a Turing computer can reproduce the "mind", which is really the crux of OP's point.
Of course that there's no "evidence" because we have never created a mind yet. The point is that a Turing complete CPU is physically indistinguishable from the human brain. They are the same thing in principle.
The "magic" is in the programming. We just don't know how to program a mind yet.
The "evidence" is in the human brain. The mind exists inside of the human brain. The human brain is a physical object, just like a CPU is. The human brain is Turing-complete. So is a CPU.

Well, that's not true because CPUs are Turing complete, which means that it's capable of any kind of computation that is physically possible, and that includes the "mind".
It's just that the current development of "AI" is nowhere near close to achieving this "mind".
If you say "Oh it's just too complex, we'll never understand it" then that's indistinguishable from superstition. It's no different than saying we'll never understand the Greek Gods because they're too complex beings.

This. Likely the storage is full, and it might boot loop if you restart.

It’s like the screen is dark, then it takes some time for it to become lighter. Its kinda annoying. I have FaceID turned on. by myself_diff
What, I have that on and it doesn't happen to me.

You obviously don’t need Pro for a beginner.
Only 13 and 14 series have long battery life.
Only Pro Max and 14 Plus have the largest size (6.7 inches).
SE’s screen is tiny.
11 is good enough for a beginner with a cheap budget.
Regular 13 is probably the best option right now.

“Comparing and contrasting paragraphs” has an extremely limited scope and it’s not a general intelligence.
An AI doesn’t know something “makes sense” or “looks good” because those are subjective experiences that we have yet to understand how it works. And what “makes sense” to us is a subjective experience where it has no guarantee that it actually does objectively make sense. What made sense to us 100 years ago may be complete nonsense today or tomorrow.
If 1000 humans are playing around with 1000 random generators, humans can eventually figure out what is “gibberish” and what might “make sense” or “sound good”.

That doesn’t contradict his claim that “AI is just scraping existing writing”. Human intelligence doesn’t work in the same way. It’s just that at some point, humans know that something “makes sense” or “looks good”, even if it’s something that’s completely new, which is something that the current “AI” cannot do.

And how did you exactly come up with that hypothesis? It certainly wasn’t just gathering “data”.
Einstein barely gathered data and instead did a lot of thought experiments to come up with relativity.
