If you think AI is “smart” or “PhD level” or that it “has an IQ of 120”, take five minutes to read my latest newsletter (link below), as I challenge ChatGPT to the incredibly demanding task of drawing a map of major port cities with above average income.
The results aren’t pretty. 0/5, no two maps alike.
“Smart” means understanding abstract concepts and combining them well, not just retrieving and analogizing in shoddy ways.
No way could a system this is wonky actually get a PhD in geography. Or economics. Or much of anything else.
You are a fool, if you think it is a “a mostly tribal distinction”. You would have said same about alchemy vs chemistry, or genes as proteins vs genes as DNA. In science, the details matter.
so much ad hominem in these comments, relatively little substance. (eg “notorious goal post move, without a single example of something i actually said and changed my mind on)
