What were you imagining when OpenAI said that their models would have "PhD-Level Intelligence"? Were you imagining that there were specific tasks they could do that were on par with what a human with a PhD could do? Because by that definition, many computer tools have "PhD-Level Intelligence". By that definition, Wolfram Alpha has "PhD-Level Intelligence". What I assumed they were saying is that their LLMs would be as intelligent as a human with a PhD across all, or at least most, knowledge tasks, and they clearly are not.
