Screenshot of this question was making the rounds last week. But this article covers testing against all the well-known models out there.

Also includes outtakes on the 'reasoning' models.

You think microorganisms can reason? Wow, AI haters are grasping for straws.

Honestly, I don't understand Lemmy scoffing at AI and thinking the current iteration is all it ever will be. I'm sure some thought that the automobile technology would not go anywhere simply because the first model was running at 3mph. These things always takes time.

To be clear, I'm not endorsing AI, but I think there is a huge potential in years to come, for better or worse. And it is especially important to never underestimate something, especially by AI haters, because of what destructive potential AI has.

The straw I'm grasping at in this example is a reasonably well-accepted scientific consensus, but you do you.
