We didn't "find" AI, we invented systems that some people want to call AI, and some people aren't convinced it meets the bar
It is entirely reasonable for people to realize we set the bar too low when it is a bar we invented
We don’t even have a good way to quantify human ability. The idea that we could suddenly develop a technique to quantify human ability because we now have a piece of technology that would benefit from that quantification is absurd.
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to measure the ability of an LLM. But it does mean that the techniques used to quantify an LLMs ability are not something that can be applied to humans outside of narrow focus areas.
