I just had an experience that made me seriously doubt we are anywhere near AGI/ASI. I tried to get Claude, ChatGPT 4o, 1o, and Gemini to write a program, solely in python, that cleanly converts pdf tables to Excel. Not only could none of them do it – even after about 20 troubleshooting prompts – they all made the same mistakes (repeatedly). I kept trying to get them to produce novel code, but they were all clearly recycling the same posts from github. I’ve been using all four of the above chatbots extensively for various language-based problems (although 1o less than the others).

Philosophically, it cannot be definitively proven that those we interact with are "truly conscious", rather than 'machines without a ghost,' so to speak. Yet, from a pragmatic and philosophical standpoint, we have agreed that we are all conscious agents, and for good reason (unless you're a solipsist, hopefully not). This collective agreement drastically improves our chances of not only of surviving but thriving. Now, consider the emergence of AI. At some point, w...
