‘Seeking’, because what could be more interesting to a species of clever and curious monkeys than a different kind of intelligence? ‘Dreading’, because such an entity might be hostile and very powerful. So let’s assume that this is really what’s happening, and see where it leads us.Īrtificial General Intelligence (AGI) – a machine that is both intelligent and self-motivated – is what the AI experts have been both seeking and dreading. The bigger the LLMs are, the likelier they are to show this behaviour – and this fits the prevailing theory in which intelligence and self-awareness emerge spontaneously out of complexity. The LLM programming basically just tells them to find the likeliest word to follow the previous one, but sometimes they jump to surprising conclusions. This book not only paints a picture of what it was like growing up in the 1950s, but it provides a valuable contribution to our knowledge about the institutional practices of the state school system back then.What the experts are actually seeing, in the behaviour of the Large Language Models that underpin the new generation of ‘generative AI’ systems like ChatGPT, is signs of ‘emergent’ intelligence. Included are over 50 scanned pages of the author’s Grade 5 and 6 Social Studies workbooks. The Colonisation of Australiais a record of what was taught in a small-town Victorian primary school sixty years ago about the arrival of the first European explorers and settlers, and what they saw when they got here.
