Today, we delve into the comical calamity of AI attempting to grasp the intricacies of physics through video creation. The burning question - do these AI contraptions truly comprehend the content they churn out? A groundbreaking paper proposes a novel method to test their understanding by predicting future video events. The team conducts a series of experiments, each more perplexing than the last, to gauge the AI's grasp on reality. Results unveil a spectrum of success and failure among different AI models, showcasing their struggles with basic concepts like object permanence and physical interactions.
Despite their ability to conjure up visually stunning imagery, these AI marvels fall short when it comes to fundamental physics comprehension. Another intriguing study exposes the lackluster performance of GPT-like AIs on visual IQ tests, revealing their limited knowledge on essential physical phenomena. The discrepancy arises from these AIs being trained for tasks that do not prioritize understanding the laws of the physical world. Surprisingly, attempts to educate these algorithms further on physics fail to enhance their performance on such tests, painting a stark picture of the challenges ahead in bridging the gap between artificial and human intelligence.
