I think we are probably just evaluating the paper on different metrics too :) I think my view is just that if your paper is called "Evaluating the Logical Reasoning Ability of GPT-4" and your conclusion is "logical reasoning

Not a simple 'yes-or-no' question, but more about the framing and where the benchmark is. When they conclude that GPT4 "does not perform astonishingly well" - what is this compared to? They never define what 'doing

I think one main failure in the framing of these papers (and discussion of LLMs more broadly) is that the abstract says that GPT4 ‘struggles’ with logical reasoning: > ChatGPT and GPT-4 do relatively well on well-known datasets […] howev

I’ve got access to 4 and it’s a huge leap up from 3.5 - much more subtlety in the response, less hallucinations, less hitting a brick wall, but all of it adding up to a giant leap.

Yes, looks like that would also not be allowed under this policy so wouldn't be suprised if Amazon removed that too. It's probably just not been flagged to them yet.

This isn’t true - caps are a legal standard in the USA to indicate that this section is higher-importance for the reader. It’s actually a legal obligation to make your terms “conspicuous”. So it’s actually supposed to be the opposite - to m

What a bizarre comparison. Automating jobs does not have the same moral implications as slavery. That might be a valid argument for keeping slavery if it wasn’t entirely immoral . But I suspect AI isn’t like the discovery of slavery - it’s

The technical restrictions point is more on IaaS services which may generate lock-in. i.e. If a company builds a lot of their infrastructure on Azure Cosmos can they easily move across to a smaller cloud provider?

Looks awesome! Congrats on the launch. Just one small silly bit of feedback - in your demo video you show one of the use-cases as showing you coming up with fake user testimonials, maybe not the best use-case to show!

Sure, you would have got it right if you didn't get it wrong. At the very least, this should be evidence that the problem wasn't a totally-trivial easy pre-kintergarden level problem though, and it did manage to correctly solve it

Well GPT4 certainly fulfils the existing definitions of reasoning, so maybe you should call your thing something else instead of redefining ‘reasoning’ to mean something different? Otherwise it’s just moving the goalposts.
