Looks like footnote 2 cuts out mid sentence. Curious what the rest says!

Interesting! For a (related) argument that the kind of intelligence/wisdom we associate with being human is irreducible, see https://tmfow.substack.com/p/artificial-intelligence-and-living

RE nonhuman intelligence and g. My guess is that human intelligence has something to do with abstract thought enabled by recursion, and that this is unique to our species. Some suggestive evidence: language (even vocab size) is the single test most correlated with g, and abstract thought is one of the first things evidenced in Behavioral Modernity right before Homo Sapiens conquer the world (including the rest of Homo). There could also be many older biological considerations that also contribute to g, like general health or synapse speed. But the kernel of human g is unique, I think. That's also relevant to LLM "IQ," given their answers are produced by very different processes (which, importantly, are not built on top of recursive self-awareness).

Anyway, good treatment of human vs nonhuman intelligence.

Interesting. I am surprised by these results, mostly because of the blue line graph in my post which indicates that Claude-3 was much better at the easy answers than the hard answers (suggesting a strong correlation with how humans perform on the questions.) https://www.maximumtruth.org/p/ais-ranked-by-iq-ai-passes-100-iq

Not sure how to reconcile those findings.

Enjoyed reading the article. But one criticism I have is it seems to answer a question that nobody is asking. I don't think anyone believes that a 100 IQ LLM is exactly the same as a 100 IQ human. When it came to going into the details of how they are different, I feel the article came up short.

One clarification here. I also liked the part about differentiating between memorization and intelligence in humans. But are we claiming that LLMs are doing memorization? If so, why wouldn't they score much higher on IQ-tests? Note that Claude-3 is the only LLM to have cracked 100 points, and the previous best was GPT-4 at 85 points. And if they aren't doing memorization, can't whatever they are doing be called reasoning? Is there a 3rd process of gaining knowledge besides memorization and reasoning?

A problem: genuine novel utility that while not super powerful on its own yet, can be leveraged to create power that was formerly not possible.

Language is a hell of a drug!

✅The closest non-human #resemblance to the #growth in #humans are #plants.

👇🏽Here’s why…

➡️💨🔥The righteous are like ‘Trees’ Proverbs 4:18; Jeremiah 17:8; Psalm 92:12-15; ‘Jesus is Peace’; ‘Righteous Lion’ Proverbs 28:1; and

‘Longing Fulfilled Tree’ Proverbs 13:12

✅Jesus compares having #Faith to a #mustardSEED

💨Matthew 17:20

”And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.“

💨People are like soil, and words (i.e., communication, songs, hymns,

disagreements/agreements, affirmations, and confessions) are the seeds planted within that grow into ideas and beliefs.

✅According to Matthew 13, Mark 4:1-9, and Luke 8:4-8 people produce a crop that sustains or dissipates.

✅Moms plant seeds within the womb before the child is even born.

I’m fascinated with #learning— it’s still so much I need to learn. Humanity need to want to learn more and more in order to continue thriving, Amen 🙏🏾
