Earlier this week, I spoke at an interesting online event organized by Khaleej times in the UAE (UAE’s longest running daily English newspaper).

This two-part blog is based on the talk. I addressed a hard topic – and one which I hope sparks some discussion.

To summarize my talk:

• The discussion of whether GPT3 is AGI or not is dominated by either hype or dichotomy.
• We need to think past both these polarizing mindsets because hype misleads discussion and dichotomy stifles discussion.
• If we do so, then what are the implications for AGI?
