chatgpt.com is actually a good at or better than a typical human.
I really don't think it is on basically any measure outside of text regurgitation. It can aggregate an incredible amount of information, yes, and it can do so very quickly, but it does so in an incredibly lossy way and that is basically all it can do.
It does what it was designed to do, predict text. Does it do that incredibly well, yes. Does it do anything else, no.
That isn't to say super advanced text regurgitation isn't valuable, just that its nowhere even remotely close to AGI.
I feel every human just regurgitates words too. And most are worse than an AI.
I have countless examples of lawyers, hr and other public gov bodies that breach the law without knowing the consequences. I also have examples of AI giving bad advice, but it’s al better than an average human right now.
An AI could easily save them a ton of money in the fees they are paying for breaching the law.
I know it FEELS like that's true sometimes, particularly in the corporate world, but it actually just isn't how human beings work at all.
Even when people are borrowing, copying, and stealing, which is the exception, mind you, they are also carefully threading the material they are re-using into whatever it is they are trying to do, say, or make in a way that is extremely non-trivial.
It “feels” same as previous commenter “feels” about AI. Can you even tell the difference in an objective way between a human vs AI regurgitating words? I kinda can tell, but far from very accurate.
Well, from my experience: a few lawyers got the law wrong but my ai did it right and the lawyer “lost” and showed how incompetent the lawyer was.
If you say most people that copy are careful you don’t know what’s an average person. And think there are 50% in the world worse than than them.
