DeepMind’s cofounder: Generative AI is just a phase. What’s next is interactive AI.::DeepMind cofounder Mustafa Suleyman wants to build a chatbot that does a whole lot more than chat. In a recent conversation I had with him, he told me that generative AI is just a phase. What’s next is interactive AI: bots that can carry out tasks you set for them by calling on other software…

    You don’t need a scientific genius to deduce that - even I did it! One of the most impressive things for me about ChatGPT has been the ability to “undestand” what you mean, properly communicate with you. For the time being it’s not hooked up to anything but it shouldn’t be too hard to make it translate our natural language requests (which it already “understands”) into software commands. The possibilities are endless.

        Meaning what? It needs Cartesian Dualist qualia floating around between its wires and transistors, or else it’s just a word vending machine? What’s the demonstrable test for understanding vs “understanding”?

          I’m not saying I have a definition or way to get there, just that it actually hasn’t demonstrated that it actually understands (through the tasks where it fails)

        That’s just a toolbox and in my experience a pretty limited one as well. What OP means is that Gen AI doesn’t connect to your Emails, Photoshop, your IDE, your browser, and what not with text or speech.

        Imagine not using your keyboard and mouse anymore, but only using your speech and natural language for everything (not commands, but natural language).

        Confidently interfacing with smart glasses would be a game changer for so many things.
