I have yet to be given an example of something a “general” intelligence would be able to do that an LLM can’t do.
Presenting…
Something a general intelligence can do that an LLM can’t do:
Play chess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvTs_nbc8Eg
Why can’t it play it? Because LLM’s don’t have memory, so they can’t work with logic. They are the same as the little “next word predictor” in your phone’s keyboard. It just says what it thinks is the most probable next word based on previous words, it’s not actually thinking or understanding anything. So instead, we get moves that don’t make sense or are completely invalid.
The solution is simple: Remove the dagger mid-combat.
You could make the dagger too hot to hold and it falls out of reach (off a mountain, into rushing water, etc…)
You could make the dagger dissolve away (through lava, acid, being eaten, etc…)
You could make something take the dagger (disarming, stealing, etc…)
A hag/genie/etc could place a curse on the PC (holding anything makes them experience immense pain and drop what they’re holding, anything dagger they hold is turned into a spoon, etc…)
