I always joke to my kids that if dolphins had hands they’d rule the world.

And of course my point is that there’s no point in intelligence if you can’t actually use it to do something useful.

It’s the same with AI.

Until it gets hands I’m not worried.

I don’t think we have anything like “AGI”. My mental definition is probably too strict for most people. Certainly for Blake Lemoine.

For example, my human AI would be conflicted over moral quandaries … or even just knowing that the chocolate cake might look tasty but we also recoil knowing how it might not be good for our health. Today’s AIs are far too certain and sure of themselves to feel like how other humans think and behave.

Though maybe it’s just that the ELIZA effect has been so baked into my brain I experience something dead on the other end of chat sessions where others see life.
