This post is a work in progress…
We have enough AI to explain conscioiusness now, and therefore to create an AI that feels “General”.
- AI can generate words from sounds
- GPT is well known to generate narratives and conversations given rough priors
- Something like Dall E to generate mental imagery around those narratives, when required
- Constantly retrained by feeding what we hear (verbally) and what we see (after “object detection”) in a feedback loop, with all of our “story” as well.
The complication is the starting conditions. We are meant to believe that we are magic “conscious” creatures, even though centuries of contemplatives dispute this.
