    Catch me surprised. A learning algorithm that may have tons of AP bio study material can ace the AP bio exam? Crazy…

      Sure, it is obvious now, but less than a year ago barely anyone suspected that we had LLM more advanced than the Google assistant and Siri, let alone one capable of earning a medical degree.

      This is the problem with standardized testing, it just doesn’t challenge our AI students and forces trainers to focus on the exam questions rather than an understanding of the material

    Ok, the demo actually took place a year ago when GPT was smart. That makes more sense.

      Gpt-4 helped me prepare my client for cross examination last week.

      It predicted ten key questions he would likely be asked, and specified what he should say and what he mustn’t say, based on the way courts have decided cases historically in similar contractual disputes.

      All of those questions came up. So yeah, GPT-4 is still smart.

          I think it’s more likely the result of working through 200 prompts in five different chats using 5000-word templates and uploading hundreds of pages of pleadings.

    It’s not like ChatGPT actually knows these things. It’s essentially a search engine. So if it aces an AP biology exam, it basically looked up the answers. It does a great job of making sense of data and putting it all together, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it knows everything about everything.

      Sometimes that’s all that’s needed. Students, for example, often cram for an exam, regurgitate what they’ve memorized, and then promptly forget everything after the exam.

        But what ChatGPT does is more like an open book test, rather than cramming before a test.
