Proof AI coming alive? Microsoft says its GPT-4 is already 'showing signs of human reasoning'

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

Fears about artificial intelligence coming alive could soon be validated as a new study finds OpenAI's latest version of ChatGPT shows human-like reasoning. GPT-4, used to power Microsoft's Bing Chat feature, was prompted to'stack a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail in a stable manner.' The system arranged the items so the eggs would not break, detailing how each should be placed on the other - starting with the book and ending with the nail. It also commented on arranging the items so the eggs do not crack - something only humans could fully understand. Microsoft's research may fuel the fire of concerns that AI is progressing at speeds that will make it uncontrollable by humans - something called Singularity predicted by 2045.
