OpenAI's AGI strategy questioned: Naming confusion or marketing gimmick?

Are these five levels of classification appropriate?

OpenAI's latest AGI roadmap divides AI capabilities into 5 levels:

  1. Chatbot: AI with conversational language
  2. Reasoner: Human-level problem-solving ability
  3. Agent: Systems that can take action
  4. Innovator: AI that can assist with invention
  5. Organizer: AI that can complete organizational work

This roadmap has sparked some doubts and criticisms:

  • The definition of "superintelligence" is vague and may cause misunderstanding
  • There are issues with the order and logic of the 5 levels
  • It might be just a marketing tactic to attract investors
  • It doesn't align with existing AI capabilities, such as L3 agents already existing
  • It doesn't consider intelligence levels beyond human capabilities

Some experts believe:

  • Current AI is still far from human-like perceptual abilities
  • LLMs do not possess human-like reasoning capabilities
  • AI neural networks are still at a primitive stage in simulating the human brain

Overall, while this roadmap provides a framework for measuring AI progress, there is considerable controversy regarding concept definitions and level classifications. It may oversimplify the complex process towards AGI and requires further refinement and discussion.
