GPT-4 can answer test questions, but could it have come up with what Einstein published in 1905 if it had all the information about the world up to say, 1902?

That’s such a totally arbitrary test you may as well ask if it could come up with the recipe for pancakes.

It’s also unknowable because of course we can’t collate that input data.

Is “can develop theories otherwise unknown to anyone but one of the most accomplished scientists of all time” really a logical bar to have to meet for “an artificial intelligence that could equal… human intelligence”?
