You are addressing the wrong person if you think I give two hoots how many more acronyms will the AI area invent to conceal the fact that the only thing they actually achieved is remove a lot of artists from the job market.
I don't care how it's called. We don't have it. I am not "confused over terminology", I want to see results and yet again they don't exist. Let's focus on results.
> In reality the whole notion of AGI->ASI auto-FOOM has been experimentally discredited
Sure. Because we actually have this super-intelligence already and we can compare with it, right? Oh wait, no we don't. So what's your point? Some people gave up and proclaimed that it can't be done? Like we haven't seen historical examples of this meaning exactly nothing, hundreds of times already.
Look, we'll never be able to talk about it before you stop confusing industry gate-keepers who learned how to talk to get VC money and obfuscate reality with, you know, the actual reality in front of us. You got duped by the investor talk and by the scientists never wanting to admit their funding might have been misplaced by being given to them, I am afraid.
Finally, nope, again and again, we don't have AGI even if I accept your definition. Show me a bot that can play chess, play StarCraft 2, organize an Amazon warehouse item movements and shipping, and coordinate a flight's touch-down with the same algorithms / core / whatever-you-want-to-call it. Same one, not different ones. One and the same.
No? No AGI then either.
> Furthermore, the very idea of ASI can’t be taken for granted. A machine that trivially solves humanity’s pressing problems makes nice sci-fi, but there is absolutely no evidence to presume such a machine could actually exist.
The people in the bronze age could have easily said "there is no evidence we would be able to haul goods while only pressing pedals and rotating a wheel". That's not an argument for anything at all, it's a short-sighted assertion that we might never progress that's only taking the present and the very near future into account. Well, cool, you don't believe it will happen. And? That's not an interesting thing to say.
Other people didn't believe we could go to the Moon. We still did. I wonder how quickly the naysayers hid under the bed after that so nobody could confront them about it. :D
But anyway. I got nothing more to say to people who believe VC talk and are hell-bent on inventing many acronyms to make sure they are never held accountable.
I for one want machines that solve humanity's problems. I know they can exist. I know nearly nobody wants to work on them because everybody is focused on the next quarter's results. All this is visible and well-understood yet people like you seem to think that this super narrow view is the best humanity can achieve.
Well, maybe it's the best you can achieve. I know people who can do more.
