Maybe you can make use of this :)

People have tried. One of the desiderata of artifical general intelligence is having common sense, so we see lots of work in AI focusing on things like "naive physics" or "naive psychology." I'm not s pecialist, but as far as I know we have yet to build an effective commonsense agent.

You didn't mention any of the existing books about AGI. Since you are a writer, they seem relevant. Some non-fiction, some fiction.

How to Create a Mind by Kurzweil

Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans Melanie Mitchell

Idoru by William Gibson

Life 3.0 Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max Tegmark

(R)evolution by PJ Manney

Pandora's Brain by Calum Chace

Avogadro Corp: The Singularity is Closer than it Appears by William Hertling

The Second Intelligent Species: How Humans Will Become as Irrelevant as Cockroaches by Marshall Brain

I don't think they generally are anywhere close

But this one guy is very interesting - https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2018/11/08/the-us-air-force-is-working-on-general-artificial-intelligence/

He does research for the airforce

> Who are you to tell me what to read?

Let me answer that question directly. The very first sentence of this article here is probably something you agree with. http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Symbol_grounding_problem

Who am I? I am a person who is in a boat with you. You and I are the same boat. We are inundated with redditors (probably young people, some of them likely teenagers) who run this website claiming GPT-4 is an AGI. I could laundry-list the subreddits where these people hang out. You and I both know that a text-corpus trained model cannot know the meaning of the symbols in that corpus.

This material I present to you will only empower you. You claim you are here for 'intelligent conversation'. Prove it.

What do you think about udacity nanodegree? I'm not in US so their job guarantee is not for me.

If I complete their or some other courses, where can I do freelance? I don't have any university degree.

as you've said above

>even just freelance at first.

they say that changing the background causes

the ai to misidentify objects.

why didn't they just remove the background with

another ai to improve it's performance.

they could have used something used something

like this.

Are you looking for models inspired by oscillators? Waves are just side effects of oscillator activity. I do not know any models. The best book about oscillators I have read is "Sync" by Steven Strogatz. I think oscillators are a great direction to follow in AGI research. Take a look at pulse coupled oscillators http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Pulse_coupled_oscillators

Reminds me of a book I read years ago --> D F Jones - Colossus

Where the "AGI"s of USA and Russia start cooperating, and blocking all possible threads doable by humans. They take control of everything.

I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but my good friend just wrote an exciting book about AGI. Here's the link if you're interested: https://www.amazon.com/Artificial-General-Intelligence-George-Adamopoulos/dp/177786870X/ref=sr\_1\_5?dchild=1&keywords=artificial+general+intelligence&qid=1634352039&sr=8-5

Hey! My buddy just told me that Amazon added the look inside feature. Enjoy! Here is the link: https://www.amazon.ca/Artificial-General-Intelligence-George-Adamopoulos/dp/177786870X/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Artificial+general+Intelligence&qid=1632784171&sr=8-4

Here is the link if anyone is interested (The look inside feature will be available soon!) : https://www.amazon.ca/Artificial-General-Intelligence-George-Adamopoulos/dp/177786870X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18740ZSTEBEUY&dchild=1&keywords=george+adamopoulos&qid=1632421424&sprefix=George+adamopoulos%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-1

That’s weird. Here’s the link for Amazon USA: https://www.amazon.com/Artificial-General-Intelligence-George-Adamopoulos/dp/177786870X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=George+Adamopoulos&qid=1632000260&sr=8-1

Where are you buying from?

It’s great that you’re asking these questions but it’s clear that you haven’t done much research on the subject. If you’re genuinely interested in contributing to this field, I’d recommend checking out Stuart Russel’s book Human Compatible. It gives a pretty good overview of where we currently stand on this problem (sans developments in NLP over the past year or two) and gives a good sense of the problems we have yet to solve.

I don't disagree that many animals are smarter than current AI but it's not really a useful comparison, IMHO. If we were able to invent a useful AGI, it would do things for us in areas where animals are not at all capable. I imagine an AGI assistant that could do complex internet searches, program, do mathematics. Hunting for food in the forest takes considerable skill but I don't need my AGI to do it. We have always used computers to supplement our own skills. As far as what we call common sense, animals have that to some extent but we are way better at it than they are.

I believe our higher level skills, the ones we do that the animals can't at all, are things our brains were largely not evolved to do and we're barely able to do them. They take a huge amount of specialization and long years of learning. The human species has evolved a few new tricks that have brought us over a hump and into a valley where there is an abundance of riches we have been mining for just a few tens of thousands of years. Mining this valley is where AGI can help. Animal intelligence, as powerful as it is, won't help at all.

Here's a book that might interest you on animal cognition: Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior

RoadMap to AGI now includes a link to Big Mother AI.

How to Build an Intelligent Machine does not seem to be currently available.

Two very good and entertaining books that you should read are:

The Parrot's Lament: And Other True Tales of Animal Intrigue, Intelligence, and Ingenuity

https://www.amazon.ca/Parrots-Lament-Intrigue-Intelligence-Ingenuity/dp/0452280680

and - The Octopus and the Orangutan: More True Tales of Animal Intrigue, Intelligence, and Ingenuity

https://www.amazon.ca/Octopus-Orangutan-Intrigue-Intelligence-Ingenuity/dp/0525946616/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+octopus+and+the+orangutan&qid=1594604644&s=books&sr=1-1

Many animals are definitely intelligent. It is just that they haven't reached our level of communication capability and therefore our level of conceptualization ability.

I was going to reply to your conclusion, but instead I'm just going to recommend Rationality: AI to Zombies, as it says everything I have said and was going to say, but better and more exhaustively.
