Well, for detailed knowledge it is not enough.

But for Internet ramblings about anything (politics, religion, capitalism vs socialism), I bet it is well beyond the average human level. (If you want to protest, go to some random Facebook, YouTube, Reddit or Twitter thread. No, not HN, or specialized groups of interests, or anything dominated by academics or IT specialist.)

A few friends of mine became parents and started participating in some parenting FB groups. It was from them a shocking contact with getting outside of the intellectual bubble.

I would be really interested in judging the quality of GPT-2-generated tests against human texts. Questions like "does the person know what they talk about?", "are they smart?" with control on the knowledge of a particular subject (e.g. do they know Rust?) would give some insight into the effective level of AI for text generation.

The real question is, how far apart are these? It certainly seems that there is a wide gulf, but the technology is moving incredibly rapidly, unclear if it's 3 years, 5 years, or 100 years away.
