Reply to comment by RobleyTheron in The CEO of OpenAI had dropped hints that GPT-4, due in a few months, is such an upgrade from GPT-3 that it may seem to have passed The Turing Test by lughnasadh
Right, but -- isn't the point that we don't know what the limits of pattern matching are, and that we keep pushing the envelope and finding that more and more impressive capabilities emerge from pattern-matching systems? What if it's pattern matching all the way to AGI?
As for self-awareness, the goal of AI isn't to precisely replicate the mechanisms that produce human intelligence. The goal is the replicate the functions of intelligence. It's a separate question whether a system with functional parity would be self-aware or not.

Fair, I'll grant that human level intelligence and cognition could be separate. My own entirely unscientific opinion is that consciousness arises from the complex interactions of neurons. The more neurons, the more likely you are to be conscious.
I dont think pattern matching will ever get us to AGI. It's way, way too brittle. It's also completely lacks understanding. A lot of learning and intelligence comes from transference. I know the traits of object A, and I recognize the traits of object B are similar, therefore B will probably act like A. That jump is not possible with current architecture.

Your second paragraph just describes pattern matching though?
