The equivalent of what current-gen LLMs do is an oral examination. Picture standing in the middle of a room surrounded by subject matter experts grilling you for your knowledge of various random topics. You have no tools, no calculator, no pencil and paper.

You’re asked a question and you just have to spit out the answer. No option to backtrack, experiment, or self correct.

“Translate this to Hebrew”.

“Is this a valid criticism of this passage from a Platonic perspective?”

“Explain counterfactual determinism in Quantum Mechanics.”

“What is the cube root of 74732?”

You would fail all of these. The AI gets 3 of 4 correct.

Tell me who’s smarter?

You because of your preconceptions, or because of real superiority?

Your model for human intelligence is probably more like this scene: https://youtu.be/KvMxLpce3Xw?si=Suy0Cj_pL0vru5Uj

The reality is the opposite. The AI could answer questions in this scenario but no nonfictional human could.
