LLMs are solving MCAT, the bar test, SAT etc like they're nothing. At this point their performance is super human. However they'll often trip on super simple common sense questions, they'll struggle with creative thinking.

Is this literally proof that standard tests are not a good measure of intelligence?

We already knew that intelligence is a complex and multifaceted property, and that being very intelligent and being very good at taking tests are two distinct (albeit loosely correlated) skills. It's just a too convenient measurement despite it's many flaws.

This is only news if you're an ignorant techbro who doesn't pay attention to any other field except computer programming.

Sure, tests are bad, but another option is that AI is simply better.

It'd better be. Why'd anyone want to create unintelligent artificial intelligence?

It kind of bothers me that we work hard on making AIs intelligent, and then when one actually starts performing well we go "oh, the test must be bad, let's change it to make sure the AI still scores poorly compared to humans." I agree that tests are generally bad but this makes one of the biases we build into them obvious.
