Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says solving mathematical benchmarks like Erdős problems does not constitute true AGI

DeepMind's AI systems recently solved eight Erdős problems.

this lands harder after GDM's system solved 8 more, it's not Mistral-like "we have Mythos at home… in the aggregate". But sorry Demis. If this isn't going towards AGI, I guess we need some new label. It's pretty awesome.

@teortaxesTex instead of calling it AGI we can just call it AI haha

@ns123abc This a directionally respectable view, but many Erdős problems' solution will likely produce geniunely new and interesting mathematics, and probably require forging deep mathematical wormholes. I'd wager that the Erdős conjecture on arithmetic progressions is one of them.

🚨 Google DeepMind CEO Sir Demis Hassabis: “Today’s systems, are nowhere near [AGI]. Doesn’t matter how many Erdős problems you solve… I think it’s far, far from what a true invention or someone like a Ramanujan would have been able to do” it’s over for the Erdős hype
