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?

    When I was at uni lecturers would often state that exams were thr worst measure of grasping the subject material but its all we have at the moment.

    It’s not all we have…

    But it’s the only way a professor can run multiple classes of 100 students each.

    But colleges are all about profit, so classes sizes are going to be huge.

    The goal isn’t educating people, it’s making money.

    So when they say “there’s no other option” they’re not mentioning the “and keep making as much money” at the end, it’s just implied.
