#404 โ€“ Lee Cronin: Controversial Nature Paper on Evolution of Life and Universe

I agree, but the super intelligence I want, I want to be able to have a discussion with it about... coming up with fundamental new ideas that generate knowledge. And if the superintelligence we generate can mine novelty from the future that I didn't see in its training set in the past, I would agree that something really interesting is coming on. I'll say that again.

If the intelligence system, be it a human being, a chatbot, something else, is able to produce something truly novel that I could not predict, even having full audit trail from the past, They're not going to be sold.

But you're saying truly novel. I think they are in the training set. I think everything it produces comes from a training set. There's a difference between novelty and interpolation. We do not understand where these leaps come from yet. That is what intelligence is, I would argue. Those leaps.

And some people say, no, it's actually just what will happen if you just do cross-domain training and all that stuff. And that may be true. And I may be completely wrong. But right now, the human mind is able to mine novelty. in a way that artificial intelligence systems cannot. And this is why we still have a job and we're still doing stuff. And, you know, I use chat GPT for a few weeks.

Oh, this is cool. And then it took me too. I had to. Well, what happened is it took me too much time to correct it. Then it got really good. And now they've they've done something to it. It's not actually that good.

And the unit future is bigger than the present, which is why human beings are quite good at generating novelty because we have to expand our data set and to cope with unexpected things in our environment. Our environment throws them all at us. Again, we have to survive in that environment. And I mean, I never say never.

I would be very interested in how we can get cross-domain training cheaply in chemical systems, because I'm a chemist, and the only thing I know of is the human brain, but maybe that's just me being boring and predictable and not novel.
