Humans use language for communicating ideas, which is very different from language modeling. Here's some discussion on this topic: https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/htrZrxduciZ5QaCjw/langu...

I would add that the above comparison is misleading, because humans have a massive advantage in that they have prior knowledge of what words mean. A more apples-to-apples comparison would have the human do next word prediction on a language they don't know.

This would be akin to me giving you a few GBs of Chinese text, with no grounding or translation, then try to communicate with you in Chinese after you've read the whole thing.
