Are you talking about the same people who couldn't agree about a vaccine? How is logical consistency going with humans?
Not to mention that a mere 700 years ago we were dying of bubonic plague and with all our general intelligence could not muster up the germ theory of disease. Not even to save our lives, you see, we are not generally efficient, it depends on century.
We are dependent on experimental results carefully constructed to verify our theories, theories which start like chatGPT's random bullshit initially, random words following a probability distribution in our heads. Even deep learning is often touted as modern alchemy - why don't we just understand?
Verification does wonders to language models. Humans have more verification and interactive experiences, so we think ourselves superior. But an AI could have the same grounding with us. Like AlphaZero who became a super-human Go player without ever looking at human games - learned it from lots of verification. And CICERO the model playing Diplomacy in natural language.
Just set AI up with a verification loop to see wonders. Predicting the next word correctly is just one of the ways AI can learn.
