Problems that only humans will ever be able to solve

Informally, AI-complete problems are the most difficult problems for an AI. The concept is not mathematically defined yet, as e.g. NP-complete problems. However, intuitively, these are the problems ...

Is the AI Effect caused by bad tests of intelligence?

I think it is mostly right. But not that intelligence is hard to define. In my opinion, it is simple: A is more intelligent than B if A achieves some purpose in less steps than B. It is functional/...

What event would confirm that we have implemented an AGI system?

It is a difficult question to answer, as — for a start — we still don't really know what 'intelligence' means. It's a bit like Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart declining to define '...

Problems that only humans will ever be able to solve

This is more of a comment and philosophical opinion, but I don’t believe that there are any problems an AI couldn’t solve, that a human can. Being new to this forum, I cannot make it a comment on the ...

Has the Lovelace Test 2.0 been successfully used in an academic setting?

No. TL;DR: The Lovelace Test 2.0 is very vague, making it ill-suited for evaluation of intelligence. It is also generally ignored by researchers of Computational Creativity, who already have their ...

How can one distinguish between an AI and a "sufficiently advanced algorithm"?

Intelligence is a quality of behavior, not implementation Intelligence is a term that primarily applies to behaviors - people, animals or artificial systems can be called intelligent iff they exhibit ...

Why is chess still a benchmark for Artificial Intelligence?

Chess isn't really a benchmark per say. The method developed in AlphaGo to play Go should in principle generalize quite nicely to other games of this sort, such as chess. Since Stockfish is quite ...

At what text-based tasks are "dumb humans" still better than the best language models?

How can one distinguish between an AI and a "sufficiently advanced algorithm"?

As you correctly pointed out, people tend to misinterpret the expression AI since they do not know what's behind an AI; it is pretty clear that in AI there is no more than just a bunch of algorithms ...

If the Turing test is passed, does this imply that computers exhibit intelligence?

We don't know. However, an important line will have been crossed - it will be impossible to tell the difference between an intelligent agent and the machine by use of a text interface. Which is the ...
