“What terms have you heard of (or can you invent right now in the comments?) that we have definitely NOT passed yet?”
Artificial Job-taking Intelligence (AJI): AI that takes YOUR job specifically
Money Printing Intelligence (MPI): AI that any random person can tell in plain language to go make money for them (more than its inference and tool use cost) and it will succeed in doing so with no further explication from them
Tool-Using Intelligence (TUI): AI that can make arbitrary interface protocols to let it control any digital or physical device responsive to an Internet connection (radio car, robot body, industrial machinery)
Automated Self-Embodier (ASE): An AI that can design a physical tool for itself to use in the world, have the parts ordered, assembled, and shipped to the location it wants the tool at, and is able to remote in and use it for its intended purpose at that location with few hiccups and little assistance from humans outside of plugging it in
The problem with MPI is it feels like “Anyone can trivially spend a small amount of money and no effort to make a larger amount of money” is the kind of thing that quickly gets saturated. If you don’t have an MPI only because of all the other MPI’s out there that have eaten up the free profits, it’s not a great measure of capabilities.
I like the other three, but I also wonder how close to TUI we already are. It wouldn’t shock me that much if we already were most of the way TUI and the only reason this didn’t lead to robotics being solved is the AI itself has limitations—i.e. it can build an interface to control the robot, but the AI itself (not the interface) ends up being too slow, too high-latency, and too unable to plan things properly to actually perform at the level it needs to. (And that slowness I expect to continue such that creating/distilling small models is better for robotics use)
