Don't shoot the messenger, that's someone else's wording not mine, I'm speaking to their claim.

I don't think this wording is something that needs to be analysed to death, after all someone will just move the goalposts (typically by those who want to place human intelligence on some podium as special).

This is a task I'd entrust a high school student to do (emphasis on student). They said high school intelligence not high school education.

A forum user above said they are not a serious company with serious people. Would a serious person with a serious interest in "intelligence" make up terms like "high school intelligence".

>>>This is a task I'd entrust a high school student to do (emphasis on student). They said high school intelligence not high school education.

I'm sure you don't actually believe all high school students are equally intelligent or on the same coursework track, or that all high schools teach the same courses with the same level of sophistication, so I'm not sure why you are defending the term "high school intelligence" or saying they even made a "claim".

I can't take you as a serious person if you think serious people are limited to talking in official terms. They can also talk generally and make assumptions, yes that is allowed.

At no point did I say that all students are at the same level.

I can't quite see what issue you have with the all of this, other than you don't like it because you don't like it.

>>>official terms

The issue isn't "official terms" the issue is nonsensical framing which is "not even wrong".

>>>At no point did I say that all students are at the same level.

Yet you used the term "high school intelligence level task".
