Ah yes, ph.d intelligence, but the wisdom of a toddler.
mmm, unironically sounds like me. According to my iq test i had PhD level intelligence at 18, and what am i doing at 24? unemployed, playing video games, and crying
It’s alright, you can keep going for a bit, I’m about to hit 30 playing video-games and crying
I’m 30. Almost have a PhD.
Also playing video games and crying
Wait until you’re 40 talking about that IQ test like the Al Bundy of brains
nah IQ tests are more or less bullshit, they’re incredibly flawed and biased, only situation you’d see me talking about them at lenght is bashing the entire concept of trying to quantify general intelligence
but the wisdom of a toddler.
Sounds like an improvement to me lol
Book Smart Street Smart
Wisdom implys it has intelligence, it does not. It’s a word predictor.
They’ll give it all the social interaction and wisdom scraped from YouTube clips.
PhD intelligence but in all the other subjects.
PhD level intelligence? Sounds about right.
Extremely narrow field of expertise ✔️
Misplaced confidence in its abilities outside its area of expertise ✔️
A mind filled with millions of things that have been read, and near zero from interactions with real people✔️
An obsession over how many words can get published over the quality and correctness of those words ✔️
A lack of social skills ✔️
A complete lack of familiarity of how things work in the real world ✔️“Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with!”
You just listed out the reasons I stopped at MSc! I’m all of those but only like half as much.
Translation: GPT-5 will (most likely illegally) be fed academic papers that are currently behind a paywall
I guess then we would be able to tell it to recite a paper for free and it may do it.
Or hallucinate it, did you know that large ammounts of arsenic can cure cancer and the flu?
I mean, GPT 3.5 consistently quotes my dissertation and conference papers back to me when I ask it anything related to my (extremely niche, but still) research interests. It’s definitely had access to plenty of publications for a while without managing to make any sense of them.
Alternatively, and probably more likely, my papers are incoherent and it’s not GPT’s fault. If 8.0 gets tenure track maybe it will learn to ignore desperate ramblings of PhD students. Once 9.0 gets tenured though I assume it will only reference itself.
NFTs will keep their value forever…
Will GPT-7 then be a burntout startup founder?
Ah. The synchronicity.
Wow… They want to give AI even more mental illness and crippling imposter syndrome to make it an expert in one niche field?
Sounds like primary school drop-out level thinking to me.
I’m planning to defend in October and I can say that getting a Ph.D. is potentially the least intelligent thing I’ve ever done.
Same, bruh. But I transitioned from biophysics to money & people management and shit’s pretty okay.
I know three people that dropped out of primary and did quite well. They all ended up taking remedial studies later in life. Two were in trades and the other was a postie. All three were smart as fuck. Just because life gets in the way of going to school doesn’t mean a person is dumb, just uneducated.
It would have to actually have intelligence, period, for it to have PhD level intelligence. These things are not intelligent. They just throw everything at the wall and see what would stick.
You are correct, but there’s a larger problem with intelligence, we don’t have a practical definition, and we keep shifting the goalpost. Then there’s always a question of a philosophical zombie, if someone acts as a human and has a human body you won’t be able to tell apart if they don’t really have intelligence, so we only need to put LLM into humanlike body (it’s not so, but you get the point)
reminds me of this, although the comic is on a different matter
I believe guardian of galaxy 3 did a take of that. Rocket was special because he innovated while the others just mimiced.
All aboard the hype train! We need to stop using the term “AI” for advanced auto complete. There is not even a shred of intelligence in this. I know many of the people here already know this, but how do we get this message to journalists?! The amount of hype being repeated by respectable journalists is sickening.
people have been calling literal pathfinding algorithms in video games AI for decades. This is what AI is now and I think it’s going to be significantly easier to just accept this and clarify when talking about actual intelligence than trying to fight the already established language.
While you’re not wrong, I don’t ever recall people en masse believing a game AI was truly intelligent. Everyone was always aware of the truth. There just isn’t a great name for the computer players. I think it’s an important distinction here because people do believe ChatGPT is intelligent.
Too late, the journalists have been replaced by advanced auto completes already.
If you can be replaced by advanced autocomplete, you’re not really a “journalist”
Well, the “journalists” have not been replaced. But most of the content creating industry were not really that and have, as you say, started to be replaced.
What is intelligence?
My organic neural network (brain) > yours (smooth brain)
I jest
I know many of the people here already know this, but how do we get this message to journalists?!
Journalists have this information, but articles about it probably generate 10% of the clicks, shares and eyeballs->ad revenue that either the hype or the scaremongering does.
GPT-10 will do my mom
If she wants it to. At some point, all the chat bots are going to be given bodies. We all know it.
Now it can not only tell you to eat rocks, but also what type of rock would be best for your digestion.
I prefer moon rocks, they’re a little meatier
One of these days Alice, bang, zoom, straight to the moon.
GPT-7 will have full-self-driving.
But that’s next year.You know the Chineese? They talk about this ChatPT 7. But we Americans. My uncle, very smart man. Smartest in every room except on Thanks Giving. I always had Thanks Giving and my Turkey, everyone loved my Turkey. He said we will soon have Chat 8 and the Chineese they know nothing like it.
TIL, Trump is just autocomplete.
What a bunch of bullshit. I’ve asked ChatGPT recently to do a morphological analysis of some Native American language’s very simple sentences, and it gave absolute nonsense as an answer.
And let’s be clear: It was an elementary linguistics task. Something that I did learn to do on my own by just doing a free course online.
Yesterday, I asked it to help me create a DAX measure for an Excel pivot table. The answers it gave were completely wrong. Each time, I would tell it the error that Excel was displaying and it would respond with “Sorry about that. You can’t use that function there for [x] reasons.”
So it knows the reason why a combination of DAX functions won’t work but recommends them anyways. That’s real fucking useful.
So copying everyone else’s work and rehashing it as your own is what makes a PhD level intelligence? (Sarcastic comments about post-grad work forthcoming, I’m sure)
Unless AI is able to come up with original, testable, verifiable, repeatable previously unknown associations, facts, theories, etc. of sufficient complexity it’s not PhD level…using big words doesn’t count either.
I look forward to when AI can extrapolate, rather than interpolate.
I think they had some specific metric in mind when they said this. But on the other hand, this is kind of a “you’re here” situation, AI can’t do that now, there’s no telling that they can’t make it do that later. Probably it would be a much more useful AI at that point, too
Having a PhD doesn’t say you’re intelligent. It says you’re determined & hardworking.
Eh. Maybe. but don’t discount those phds who were pushed through the process because their advisors were just exhausted by them. i have known too many 10th year students. They weren’t determined or hardworking. They simply couldn’t face up to their shit decisions, bad luck, or intellectual limits.
Pushed through? In my experience those candidates are encouraged to drop out.
There are practical matters, some quite controversial, that you aren’t considering.
Probably. What are you referring to exactly?
Let’s just say that demographics play a critical role in future grant applications.
Not everywhere, I guess. The advisor needs to show good numbers to the
stakeholdersboard, after allI think that’s on the entrance selection committee, not the supervisor. (Although they are probably part of that committee)
I don’t know for sure, but my advisor used to worry about the amount of successful PhD graduates, because of the department quota, iirc
on the other hand
his quota was not too high, and he allowed me to enroll and was okay with me, although I said in advance that I will likely become a drop out
Depends if its profitable or not, including in the long run.
Yes. Short term easy passes come at the expense of sacrificing long term reputation.
A scientist says Britney is really pretty, the press reports scientist thinks Britney is hot, lemmy gets mad because her core temperature is the same as most humans.
What they’re really claiming is it’ll have PhD level proficiency at certain tasks, that is if you asked an average PhD student to code a pathfinder algorithm GPT would produce similar level output. Likewise if you want it to write an explanation of centrifugal force it could output the same quality essay as the average PhD student.
They’re not saying that it’ll have agency, emotion, or self-awareness. They’re not saying it’ll have the colloquial understanding of intelligence or wisdom, they’re using intelligence in its normal use in animal biology and computer science where it refers to an organism changing its behavior in response to stimulus in a way that benefits the organism - a worm moving away from light because this will increase its survivability is intelligence, a program selecting word order that earns it a higher score is intelligence.
Ah right, everyone was wrong the whole time. See everyone! This right here makes all of it make sense! We can all stop making fun of the statement for being ridiculous, because clearly we are just bad readers. Thank you man likely wearing a cape!
Your comment, but without irony or sarcastic pretention. What exactly do you think semantics are?
Something unnecessary, certainly

PHD in what?
In intelligence. Duh!
Knowing academics, I’m expecting it to start a Tumblr blogs and post academic shit posts.
