>Yeah humans can generalize much faster than LLM with far fewer "examples" running on sandwiches and coffee.

This isn't really true. If you give an LLM a large prompt detailing a new spoken language, programming language or logical framework with a couple examples, and ask it to do something with it, it'll probably do a lot better at it than if you just let an average human read the same prompt and do the same task.

Hmm, but is it really "generalizing" or just pulling information from the training data? I think that's what this benchmark is really about: to adapt to something it has never seen before quickly.
