This doesnt seem to make sense.

Since there is no current widespread agreement on the current “value” of the human mind, how could anyone in the future conclusively determine it went up, or down?

It seems literally impossible by definition regardless of what happens in the future.

Well, I was referring to "value" here in a very pragmatic sense, in terms of the ability to come with "novel" thoughts and ideas.

And I argue that the notion of AI models having overtaken the human mind in practically all areas, is vastly inaccurate.

I could back it up with a number of references of course, but I think this is already quite well known and accepted by most people with some insight into the field.

So… how do you plan on determining whether it went up or down?
This was/is not a controlled scientific experiment. It is a blog post.
I know that?

How is it relevant when clearly nobody thinks this is some kind of “controlled scientific experiment” in disguise?
