Quotes:<br>
Douglas Hofstadter has been a strong advocate of separating the terms<br>
intelligence and artificial intelligence over the years, not<br>
considering that technologies based on machine learning and other<br>
models are not worthy of being considered as intelligent as humans. So<br>
far, when systems like ChatGPT have sabotaged the plans of this<br>
academic He is “terrified” by the future of these powerful AI models.<br>
<br>
“Very soon, it’s quite possible that they (ChatGPT and other AIs) will<br>
be smarter than us, much smarter than us,” Hofstadter said in an<br>
interview.<br>
<br>
He says that his faith has been shaken by what he describes as a<br>
traumatic experience, believing that humans will soon be eclipsed by<br>
machines.<br>
