Key points

Despite the hype, the dream of artificial general intelligence has not yet been achieved.

AI can't replicate three critical features of natural general intelligence by humans and non-human animals.

AI still has some distance to go as far as logic, associative learning, and value sensitivity.

Despite the impressive achievements of current generative AI systems, the dream of Artificial General Intelligence remains far away, notwithstanding the hype offered by various tech CEOs.[1] The reasons are easy to state, if hard to quantify. Human intelligence requires three primary features, none of which have been fully cracked: logic, associative learning, and value sensitivity. I’ll explain each in turn.

Logic

Logic was once thought to be the apotheosis of human reasoning and th
