Most professional coders can, in fact, code.

  Most people are not professional coders.

    And to short-circuit the argument: approximately no one is, at the same time, a professional coder, writer, artist, detective, translator, doctor, and <insert one or ten or a hundred more occupations here>. GPT-4 is all of them at once, and outperforms an average professional of any of those occupations in their respective field.

      You said it outperforms the average professional in any of these occupations (including detective and artist?) and more? That’s a very bold claim. Can you substantiate that somehow? I don’t disagree for a second that incrementally better LLMs + robotics will be able to automate a large portion of labor, but that doesn’t in my eyes make them smarter than humans. Jobs today aren’t exactly the fullest realization of human potential; you wouldn’t call a robotic arm smarter than a human for being better on the line.

    I thought this thread was an answer to the qualifier in parenthesis: > I mean LLMs crush most humans (even many professionals) at coding/legal/medical/etc. exams.
