> One could argue a common characteristic of the above exams is that they each test memory, and, as such, one could argue that GPT-4's above-average performance is not necessarily evidence of "reasoning". That is, GPT-4 has no "understanding" but it has formidable reading speed and retention (memory).

I don’t think they will make this argument since it will heavily negate their (expected) argument that they’re not open-sourcing the model because of safety concerns.

I’m not so sure of this. The fear generally isn’t that the model itself is dangerous, more so that how it is used by someone might be.
