Interview with Geoffrey Hinton,
October 20, 2020
A lot of the people in the field believe that common sense is the next big capability to tackle. Do you agree?
Geoffrey Hinton: I agree that that’s one of the very important things. I also think motor control is very important, and deep neural nets are now getting good at that. In particular, some recent work at Google has shown that you can do fine motor control and combine that with language so that you can open a drawer and take out a block, and the system can tell you in natural language what it’s doing.
For things like GPT-3, which generates this wonderful text, it’s clear it must understand a lot to generate that text, but it’s not quite clear how much it understands. But if something opens the drawer and takes out a block and says, “I just opened a drawer and took out a block,” it’s hard to say it doesn’t understand what it’s doing.
