The denial is strong. Find anyone, anywhere, who can answer as broad of a range of questions, as quickly, as well, as ChatGPT does. No human can match any one of those 3 dimensions of performance. AI won several years ago.

The question is about "intelligence" and your argument is regarding memory and access to information.

Are there standardized tests proxying intelligence in which GPT4o underperforms relative to the median human?

I think my answer concerns intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to solve problems.

GPT4o can't pass a driving license test.

That's YOUR definition of intelligence anyway. LLMs fundamentally aren't intelligent because they cannot solve novel problems. It's literally just a complex auto complete that interpolates data from problems already solved by humans. It has no capacity to actually reason about anything.

This is a good point because “solving problems” and “generating convincing-sounding text” are the same thing. The fact that language models can answer heretofore unsolvable questions like “how many flimbops does it take to fill a fuzzlebugle to the halfway point?” means that Sam Altman has stolen fire from the gods as a modern day Prometheus
