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?

I don't know... I've been using ChatGPT4. I use it only where the knowledge it outputs is not important. It's good when I need help with language related things, as more of a writing assistant. Creative stuff is also OK, sometimes even impressive.

With facts? On moderately complicated topics? I'd say it gets something subtly wrong about 80% of the time, and very obviously wrong 20%. The latter isn't the problem.

I don't understand where the "intelligent" part would even come in. Sure, it requires a fair level of intelligence to understand and generate human language responses. But, to me, all I've seen fits: generate responses that seem plausible as responses to the input.

If intelligence requires some deeper understanding of the world, and the facts and relationships between them, then I don't see it. It's just a coincidence when it looks like it happened. It's impressive how often that is, but it's still all it is.
