That's the real deal.

They say LLM are PhD-level. Despite billion dollars, PhD-LLMs sure are not contributing a lot solving known problems. Except of course few limited marketing stunts.



IMHO that's the key differentiator.

You can give a human PhD an _unsolved problem_ in field adjacent to their expertise and expect some reasonable resolution. LLM PhD:s solve only known problems.

That said humans can also be really bad problem solvers.

If you don't care about solving the problem and only want to create paperwork for bureaucracy I guess you don't care either way ("My team's on it!") but companies that don't go out of business generally recognize pretty soon lack of outcomes where it matters.



I wish our press was not effectively muted or bought by the money, so none of the journos has cojones to call out the specific people who were blabbing about PhD-levels, AGI etc. They should be god damn calling them out every single day, essentially doing their job, but they are now too timid for that.
