Spike,
To me, that drawing of a helicopter is a sign the singularity is coming
soon. I know it doesn't look much but actually, it is better than, as you
said, most people would do even just using simple elements like rectangles.
Consider also it is all code (see below). Maybe there is something I don't
understand but if I do what is happening here is incredible. GPT-4 has to
have some general idea of what a helicopter looks like.

It has to understand the helicopter has certain particular components (that
it actually lists in the code) and how these components are related to each
other both spatially and in relative dimensions. All this is just from its
textual knowledge of helicopters (I believe the version that is available
to the public is not trained on images).

It has to write code with a plan in mind that allows for these components
to be set in a given frame it has created at the start. It has chosen to
use rectangles (vs round shapes it has used in the past to represent the
head of a person for example) of certain proportions for the different
components. It has to know that the rotor is on top and the sled at the
bottom, the tail on the side. The tail rotor needs to be much smaller than
the rotor. All these things absolutely show that this is not your grandma's
autocomplete as Gordon insists. GPT-4 really understands a helicopter
deeply and it did this by understanding the relations between the parts
without having a referent of any type. If we didn't know what a helicopter
was we could have imagined one from this drawing (or a more detailed one if
necessary). If one sees this drawing with open eyes and mind then he will
arrive at the logical unavoidable conclusion but if somebody has their mind
closed because of some strongly held superstitious idea then no amount of
evidence will convince them, even when the first AI will receive the Noble
Prize for Physics.
