AI and the Illusion of Intelligence - Coursera course

I took this little course: "Will ArtificiaI Intelligence soon be surpassing humans? This is rapidly becoming one of the central questions of our time -- but it is the wrong question. In this course, we will provide a non-technical look at where AI has come from, and where it is going. We will see that there is no reason to expect that AI will be surpassing humans. Instead, what we are learning to create with AI is the illusion of intelligence.

AI has actually been discussed for centuries, in fields like philosophy, linguistics and cognitive science. We will show that these perspectives help to shed light on current developments in AI, including impressive recent systems like GPT-3."

I liked this even though I'm not sure I come to the same conclusion as what was intended. There is a good review of history of the definition of intelligence. It looks at language capability as one of the core metrics of intelligence and of course this is where the OpenAI chat bots have been making very rapid progress.
