It would be a mistake today to deny that AI technologies are starting to resemble humans. The language model GPT-4 developed by OpenAI stands out as the biggest proof against this error. So, can GPT-4 really think like a human?
The answer to this question was given by Microsoft, which provided access to the language model before GPT-4 was even released. Microsoft researchers shared the results they obtained after their scientific work with GPT-4 in their research published in April 2023. GPT-4 was rated as the closest artificial intelligence to thinking like a human.
Let’s find out the critical result in their own words: On some missions, it performed better than humans!
However, these results are not proof that the GPT-4 can think like a human:
The researchers emphasized that GPT-4 is a big step towards ‘artificial general intelligence (AGI)’, that is, an artificial intelligence capable of performing the mental tasks of a human. On the other hand, he reminded that GPT-4 has not yet been able to do anything that people do.
It was shared that GPT-4 still has many limitations and biases. He also stated that he made basic arithmetic mistakes.
Another point the research emphasized was the idea that the GPT-4 had common sense. It was shared that the GPT-4 gave much better results than other models that had previously entered the common sense test. However, it was stated that his ‘intelligence’ was not like a human being.
GPT-4 is the language model accessible to all ChatGPT users today.
