ChatGPT is more like an 'alien intelligence' than a human brain, says futurist
Second Life founder and Midjourney advisor Philip Rosedale says generative AI can perform superhuman tasks but lacks the human ability to reason.
In an interview for ZDNET, Rosedale told me that the present capabilities of AI, such as large language models like GPT-4 and image generation technologies, resemble "alien intelligence" that can perform superhuman tasks but lacks human-like reasoning. Despite the awe-inspiring potential, Rosedale highlighted that current AI models are limited by their ability to read and write to memory at the same time -- resulting in "zombie AIs" that cannot listen and reason like humans.
