typical stancil to drop a chart that's up and to the right and say, “see, you are all dumb.”

Testing large language models (LLM) on IQ tests is like testing a search engine on IQ questions it has already indexed answers to, it simply does a lookup & randomly guesses answers to any other questions not in the training set.

they already started training on the test set I see — also, what a horrible name for a benchmark. knowledge is dynamic and influx, there is no last test. So dramatic.
