  • I wasn’t sure from the title if it was “Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than [the US adults] are.” or “Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than [the LLMs actually] are.” It’s the former, although you could probably argue the latter is true too.

    Either way, I’m not surprised that people rate LLMs intelligence highly. They obviously have limited scope in what they can do, and hallucinating false info is a serious issue, but you can ask them a lot of questions that your typical person couldn’t answer and get a decent answer. I feel like they’re generally good at meeting what people’s expectations are of a “smart person”, even if they have major shortcomings in other areas.
