- thaumasiotes 11y agoPresumably 3-SAT ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem#3-satisfiability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem... ) Obviously, software is not actually smart enough for SAT ;) This is kind of an interesting case, in that the article, contradicting the headline, says that the software was only given some "geometry questions" from the SAT, and that it only performed at the level of an average 11th grader, which is shockingly bad. Writing the software to solve SAT geometry problems with perfect accuracy isn't difficult at all, so what's being tested here is the ability to parse visual diagrams and natural English sentences into an accurate representation of the problem. (Again, this is made clear in the article, but seems basically unrelated to the headline.) But since that's what we're doing, I don't see why we don't give it the verbal questions too. Understanding written English sentences is most of what's left there.
