The equivalent of what current-gen LLMs do is an oral examination. Picture standing in the middle of a room surrounded by subject matter experts grilling you for your knowledge of various random topics. You have no tools, no calculator, no pencil and paper. You’re asked a question and you just have to spit out the answer. No option to backtrack, experiment, or self correct. “Translate this to Hebrew”. “Is this a valid criticism of this passage from a Platonic perspective?” “Explain counterfactual determinism in Quantum Mechanics.” “What is the cube root of 74732?” You would fail all of these. The AI gets 3 of 4 correct. Tell me who’s smarter? You because of your preconceptions, or because of real superiority? Your model for human intelligence is probably more like this scene: https://youtu.be/KvMxLpce3Xw?si=Suy0Cj_pL0vru5Uj https://youtu.be/KvMxLpce3Xw?si=Suy0Cj_pL0vru5Uj The reality is the opposite. The AI could answer questions in this scenario but no nonfictional human could.
