> We will always have a deeper and more nuanced understanding of reality than our artificial counterparts.
Wishful thinking already disproven by collectives (Google and OpenAI) that are already better at understanding and acting upon reality than you or any single human intelligence. These are systems, and they can soon hollow out their biological components.
I agree with you. Those models are smarter than us in specific areas. But my question is, can they understand ideology, religion, etc, and feel them like we do? Can they come up with their traditions and beliefs? Because these are the core and evolving foundations of our reality and one of the most primitive activities since the dawn of humanity, I do not see any of these models even getting close to these concepts. They parrot what we told them. They have no agency of their own.
It is also a sign of hubris to think that we can create an artificial construct that is more intelligent than we are.
One thing that `exponentialists` forget is that each step also requires exponentially more energy and resources.
