Default Re: How close are we to NAIs?

For me there's a category of "good enough A.I " as in "it's good enough to do a job I find useful". An A.I. might be competent enough to weed the strawberry patch (which I will never be, at least not if the goal is growing strawberries) without being able to drive a car on a real highway with other drivers including humans.

Clever toys are fun. But does ChatGPT show progress toward useful A.I.s good enough to do valuable work? People are using the Facial Recognition software from airport security to create farming programs to tend crops. You'll still need skilled hardworking farmers but inputs of water and expensive agrochemicals will be dramatically reduced.
