    A major criticism people had of generative AI is that it was incapable of doing stuff like math, clearly showing it doesn’t have any intelligence. Now it can do it, and it’s still not impressive?

    Show that AI to people 20 years ago and they would be amazed this is even possible. It keeps getting more advanced and people keep just dismissing it, possibly not realizing how impressive this shit and recent developments actually are?

    Sure, it probably still doesn’t have real intelligence… but how will people be able to tell when something like this has? When it can reason in a similar way we can? It already can imitate reason plenty well… and what is the difference? Is a 3-year old more intelligent? What about a 5-year old? If a 5-year old fails at reasoning in the same way an AI does, do we say it’s not intelligent?

    I feel like we are nearing the point where these generative AIs are getting more intelligent than the least intelligent humans, and what then? Will we dismiss the AI, or the humans?
