Is quantum computing the key to achieving an AGI?

AI Thread Summary
Advanced quantum computing is considered a potential key to achieving true artificial general intelligence (AGI) due to its ability to provide significant computational power that classical computing cannot match. However, the challenge of developing AGI is not merely a matter of computational resources; it lies in the fundamental lack of understanding of how to create AGI, even in principle. While quantum computers may enhance the speed of processes such as training machine learning models, they do not inherently resolve the limitations of machine learning in relation to AGI. The belief that AGI might "emerge" simply from scaling up systems is questioned, emphasizing that more than just increased size and speed is needed to achieve AGI.

TL;DR Summary
Is quantum computing the key to achieving the world's first true artificial general intelligence?
Is advanced quantum computing the key to achieving the world's first true artificial general intelligence? The astronomical amount of computing power required for an AGI is currently not possible with classical computing.

No.
The issue with AGI is not that it is an intractable problems; it is that we don't know how to do it even in principle.
Quantum computers will hopefully be able to provide a significant speedup when it comes to e.g. training; but unless one assumes that an AGI will "emerge" if one makes the system large enough they won't fundamentally change what ML can and cannot do with respect to an AGI.

Thread 'AI and Ethics in Journalism: The Sports Illustrated Scandal'

Interesting article about an AI writing scandal at Sports Illustrated: https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/29/opinions/sports-illustrated-ai-controversy-leitch/index.html I hadn't heard about it in real-time, which is probably indicative about how far SI has fallen*. In short, the article discusses how SI was caught using AI and worse fake reporter photos/profiles to write game summaries. Game summaries are the short articles that summarize last night's Phillies game. They are so formulaic that...
