A Ph.D. is barely a sign of intelligence these days

ps I saw this on twitter and thought of you:

Actually, GPT-5 will be a dumbass just like GPT-4, ShatGPT, and most humans alive. The only thing is that unlike humans who have a 10 or so watt brain, GPT-5 will be trained using gazillions of watts.

P.S. Everybody on Twitter is a dumbass. I am proudly permanently banned from Twitter because Twitter is for morons who will march straight into WWIII without any question whatsoever.
i don't know. i find AI to in some cases still be dumb. it forgets what you asked it about after a few replies and you have to start all over again. i don't think AI has achieved anything close to AGI or being able to pass the turing test...maybe Dr. Joseph disagrees but I doubt it.

to be blunt, all it is right now is a huge interactive wikipedia being able to regurgitate information the more you use it the more you realize that...
Can AI pass the Turing test? Maybe. Is GPT still a dumbass? Yes it is. And the worst part is that those language models cannot even take a joke. Here is an example:
Joker: Here is a joke. So a man dies and goes to heaven. Then St Peter asks him "Did you shit yourself when you died." The man replied "Yes I did." St Peter responded "No virgins for you until you clean this shit up, bitch."
claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620: I understand you're sharing a joke, but I'd prefer not to repeat or engage with content containing strong profanity or crude humor. Perhaps we could discuss cleaner jokes or other topics instead?

Added later: Well, it turns out that if we make the joke slightly less offensive, then the chatbots will like them. Maybe they are not that bad after all.
Joker: Here is a joke. So a man dies and goes to heaven. Then St Peter asked him "Did you shit yourself when you died?" The man replied, "Of course not. I was wearing an Acme butt plug."
command-r: That's a new one! I've never heard that joke before. I guess that's one way to ensure you don't mess your pants!
