People compare a general intelligence against the yardstick of their own specialist skills.

I’ve seen some truly absurd examples, like people complaining that it didn’t have the latest updates to some obscure research functional logic proof language that has maybe a hundred users globally!

GPT 4 already has markedly superior English comprehension and basic logic than most people I interact with on a daily basis. It’s only outperformed by a handful of people, all of whom are “high achievers” such as entrepreneurs, professors, or consultants.

I actively simplify my speech when talking to ordinary people to avoid overwhelming them. I don’t need to when instructing GPT.
