We must be speaking past each other. I am not out for acclaim and sorry for any confusion. Everything you say is exactly the point I'm trying to make, evidently clumsily. The "mysterious thing" is the human element. I don't know what else to call it? Humans that ace tests prove only that they are good at acing tests. Not that they're good at running businesses or practicing law. Not creating films (in this example), or music, etc.

I am not knocking the advancements, the capabilities are incredible. But machines have been doing what humans cannot since the dawn of time. I'm just pointing out what I think (thought?) was obvious: machines will soon be able to do just about everything that doesn't really matter.

PS. are you familiar with Wittgensteins ruler? Ask chatGPT about it.

I didn't say test to mean just standardized tests lol. I meant that as problems you throw at it.

Sure seem good enough at law that multiple of the biggest law firms have partnered with Open ai backed Harvey https://twitter.com/ai__pub/status/1644735555752853504 https://www.lawnext.com/2023/04/harvey-ai-raises-21m-in-a-se...

and then there's what microsoft are doing with 4 in medicine. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/04/gpt-4...

There is no "human element" lol. That's the point. That's how you know the argument has no ground. People resort to "human element" when they have nothing to actually say. and because "human element" has no meaning, the goal posts for it just keeps getting moved further and further. apparently now we're at "make the godfather".

I'm not a critic of AI or moving any goal posts. I'm not lobbing comments in a vacuum. I was responding directly to the comical proposal that we don't need actors anymore, to which my Godfather comment has every relevance. Thanks anyway!

Guess i just don't think your comment has as much relevance as you think it does. Remove the "with ai" and nothing actually changes.

"Please try to make an original movie that meets the standard of The Godfather, without AI" and lets see how well that goes.

Is the human that fails this task also missing the "human element" ?
