Kevin Holditch, Vladimir Setka & Viktor Peacock

In this episode of the AI Overdrive podcast, the hosts discuss their recent use cases of AI and delve into the concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI). They explore the Chinese room problem as an analogy for AI, where a man in a room blindly follows a book to write Chinese poems without understanding the language. They question whether this man is intelligent and draw parallels to AI systems like ChatGPT. 

The hosts also discuss the importance of consciousness and the ability to reason in AGI, as well as the need for AI to spend different amounts of time thinking about problems based on their complexity. The conversation explores the concept of reasoning in AI and the challenges of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). The speakers discuss the value of reasoning about complex problems and the limitations of current AI systems. 

They also delve into the need for sensory input and continuity in AI development. The conversation touches on the ethical implications of AGI, including rights and liability. The speakers ponder the possibility of AI taking over jobs and the potential for self-improving AI. They conclude by considering the role of specialized AI models in solving specific problems.
