The 200 one seemed underwhelming. Sounded more like someone posting online trying to sound really smart

Unusual in that they all have the same spelling ability.

Unless I'm mistaken, chatGPT is trained on word embeddings, so it can't really make spelling mistakes, unless those misspelled words are included in the vocabulary.

Somehow I imagine the 200 IQ one being more of a series of fragmented thoughts and references to other concepts that would only make sense to someone else of similar intelligence. They would need far less context and explanation than the others. Kind of how when doing a math test, both the super high and low IQ people just write an answer but the rest of us have lines of working steps. They can intuit steps that most…

idk, smart people who are not on the spectrum tend to be great at explaining things in an easy to understand way for people of any intelligence level. As for people on the spectrum, it depends on how they are specifically, many things can cause them to be more or less understandable to any joe-shmoe.

There's a series on YouTube called 5 Levels where Wired asked an expert in a domain to explain a concept to a child, teen, college student, grad student, and expert.

> IQ 200 seemed increasingly verbose, while the IQ 100 had a succinct explanation. It’s interesting to note that AI thinks a higher IQ individual keeps things complicated. No, its not at all surprising that a text continuation prediction engine built on a large corpus of documents largely from the public internet thinks that something described as being written by an extremely high IQ individual should keep things co…

Are any of the corpus texts labeled with IQ? Also wondering why concision is unlabeled as high IQ

The corpus is just a set of token sequences, so the question is does any of them contain text stating that a subsequent portion represents an example of sonething that is, of would be, written by a high IQ individual.

It can also be directed to include any degree of spelling and grammar errors, as camouflage.

It probably haven't had much practice. It's not like the internet is shock full of texts tagged with the IQ of the author. It is, however, full of SEO texts, Wikipedia articles, and /r/askscience answers.

“chock” full (IQ 150)

Thank you. I'm doing the best I can with my peak of the bell curve IQ.

Although the grammar is quite poor in the 50 IQ one

Keep in mind this isn't a real person with an IQ of 200, that's what the model learned about how people who claim to have an IQ of 200 on the internet. Usually people with a high IQ don't mention their IQ.

"if you have to say it, you probably don't have it"

used in the context of money, but works just fine for other areas
