Behavioral success isn’t proof of AI’s general intelligence

In a Nature correspondence, Quattrociocchi, Capraro, and Marcus argue that Chen et al.’s claim that success in behavioural tests (including Turing-test variants) demonstrates artificial general intelligence is problematic. They present three grounds for skepticism, stressing that such performance reflects statistical pattern matching or task-specific competence rather than true general intelligence or understanding, and warn against equating behavioural mimicry with AGI.

The Dark Side of AI: Model Collapse and Human Exploitation

Researchers from Britain and Canada introduce the phenomenon of model collapse, a degenerative learning process where models forget improbable events over time, even when no change has occurred. They provide case studies of model failure in the context of the Gaussian Mixture Model, the Variational Autoencoder, and the Large Language Model. Model collapse can be triggered by training on data from another generative model, leading to a shift in distribution. Long-term learning requires maintaining access to the original data source and keeping other data not produced by LLMs readily available over time.
