Will AI soon surpass the human brain? If you ask employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other large tech companies, it is inevitable. However, researchers @Iris and @olivia at Radboud University and others show new proof that those claims are overblown and unlikely to ever come to fruition. Their findings are published in Computational Brain & Behavior today.

@Iris @olivia I think most are conflating capabilities with intelligence.

Contemporary LLMs are immensely powerful semantic processors. However I don’t feel like they are very good at solving new problems.

They seem to know the definition of words and symbols with a billion words, but can’t always see the big picture.
