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?

    Nobody is a blank slate. Everyone has knowledge from their past experience, and instincts from their genetics. AIs are the same. They are trained on various things just as humans have experienced various things, but they can be just as blind as each other on the contents of the test.

      No, they wouldn’t.

      Because real IQ tests arent just multiple choice exams

      You would have to train it to handle the different tasks, and training it at the tasks would make it better at the tasks, raising their scores.

      I don’t know if the issue is you don’t know about how IQ tests work, or what LLM can do.

      But it’s probably both instead of one or the other.
