>What's wrong with that? If it quacks like a duck... it's just a complex pile of organic chemistry, ducks aren't real because the concept of "a duck" is wrong.

To simulate a biological neuron you need a 1m parameter neural network.

The sota models that we know the size of are ~650m parameters.

That's the equivalent of a round worm.

So if it quacks like a duck, has the brain power of a round worm, and can't walk then it's probably not a duck.

You just convinced me that AGI is a lot closer then I previously thought, considering the bulk of our brains job is controlling our bodies and responding to the stimulus from our senses - not thinking, talking, planning, coding etc

    A stegosaurus managed to live using a brain the size of a wallnut on top of a body the size of a large boat. The majority of our brains are doing something else.

Ok so you're saying that the technology to make AI truly sentient is there, we just need a little bit more computational power or some optimization tricks. Like raytracing wasn't possible in 1970 but is now. Neat.

    Yes, in the same way that a human is an optimization of a round worm.
