(1) AI isn't educated. It has access to a lot of information. That's two different things.
(2) I was rebutting the paper's standard that AGI should be achieving the status of a well-educated adult, which is probably far, far too high a standard. Even something measured to a much lower standard--which we aren't at yet--would change the world. Or, going back to my example, an AI that was as intelligent as a labrador in terms of its ability to synthesize and act on information would be truly extraordinary.
It has no idea who these guys are. It thinks they are the beatles, the doors. If you probe enough, it'll say it's IBM cofounders. In a way, it kinda sees that these are mid-1900s folks with cool haircuts, but it doesn't recognize anything. If you probe on the F the model in question becomes convinced it's the Ford racing team with a detailed explanation of two brothers in the photo, etc.
The creation of autoregressive next token predictors is very cool and clearly has and will continue to have many valuable applications, but I think we're missing something that makes interactions with users actually shape the trajectory of its own experience. Maybe scaffolding + qlora solves this. Maybe it doesn't
