@timschlomi Most people are not generally good at any of these things. AI is better than the vast majority of the population. That much is undeniable — most people have never ever coded, proved a theorem, or written a book. And would not be able to do so on demand.

@timschlomi That's not a specific ability though. My contention would be that most knowledge workers require things like access training (e.g. law school), professional networks, physical access to a mouse and keyboard, a library card, personal favors, legal privileges, etc.

@timschlomi What would be an example of a cognitive ability that would fit under the wider definition that does not fit in the definition above?

@timschlomi With all the facts in front of it and with a described statement required from it, it can produce a statement fitting that description. E.g. with a reading passage it can answer a reading comprehension question.

@timschlomi Which job specifically? I can't think of a single one AI is worse at for **intelligence** reasons.

@timschlomi What is it not human-level at? Are we saying that AI needs to be human-level intelligent at manipulating physical objects **like a human**? If so, that is never going to happen.

AGI is already here. Realizing this just requires not moving the goalposts. When doomers say, well that can't be AGI, it's not capable enough, they are actually saying that can't be AGI, that isn't this scary evil thing i bet my career on. https://t.co/kWKfCSAwyC

Fun fact, diamond wafers would be better here. diamond is more broadly optically transparent diamond is stronger diamond is more thermally conductive (diamond is also more expensive, lol) https://t.co/eOgJ8VFCBv
