Is chatgpt proof that standard tests are bad measures of intelligence (lemmy.world)

LLMs are solving MCAT, the bar test, SAT etc like they're nothing. At this point their performance is super human. However they'll often trip on super simple common sense questions, they'll struggle with creative thinking.

Is this literally proof that standard tests are not a good measure of intelligence?

Standard tests don’t measure intelligence. They measure things like knowledge and skill. And ChatGPT is very knowledgeable and highly skilled.

IQ tests have the goal of measuring intelligence.

just a reminder that IQ tests may have the goal of measuring intelligence, but that says nothing of their precision and accuracy

Exactly. I chose my words very carefully.

You meet enough doctors and lawyers and you tend to find that combination unremarkable.
