The LLMs are not just memorising stuff though, they solve math and physics problems better than almost every person alive. Problems they've never seen before. They write code which has never been seen before better than like 95% of active software engineers.

I love how the bar for are LLMs smart just goes up every few months.

In a year it will be, well, LLMs didn't create totally breakthrough new Quantum Physics, it's still not as smart as us... lol

All code has been seen before, thats why LLMs are so good at writing it.

I agree things are looking up for LLMs, but the semantics do matter here. In my experience LLMs are still pretty bad at solving novel problems(like arc agi 2) which is why I do not believe they have much intelligence. They seem to have started doing it a little, but are still mostly regurgitating.

Well... There are two perspectives. Llms are smarter than we thought or people are stupider than we thought.
