@GaryMarcus @rao2z If it’s executing a sufficiently big plan competently, without human intervention, is there a particular point when it’s acting independently? Seems like a continuum.

@liron That sounds like planning, which as @rao2z will tell you, is still inadequate, rather than a capacity to act independently, which IMHO could be more concerning.

@GaryMarcus In their demo, it's chaining and executing more software actions together than before, toward a goal in the query

@liron Sorry, but I still don’t see it. Under what definition of agency?

Can the “it doesn’t have agency tho” people shut up now?

The statement is part of a public discourse on the topic of artificial intelligence and its capacity for independent action. The conversation involves a discussion on the nature of AI agency and autonomy, which are significant public issues in the context of technology and ethics.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm directly, but it could be seen as dismissive of differing opinions, which might indirectly contribute to a less respectful dialogue. [-1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not actively promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. It is more focused on clarifying a technical point rather than fostering empathy.
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive dialogue by clarifying a point about AI capabilities, but it could be more respectful in tone to encourage open discussion.
