So copying everyone else’s work and rehashing it as your own is what makes a PhD level intelligence? (Sarcastic comments about post-grad work forthcoming, I’m sure)

Unless AI is able to come up with original, testable, verifiable, repeatable previously unknown associations, facts, theories, etc. of sufficient complexity it’s not PhD level…using big words doesn’t count either.

I think they had some specific metric in mind when they said this. But on the other hand, this is kind of a "you're here" situation, AI can't do that now, there's no telling that they can't make it do that later. Probably it would be a much more useful AI at that point, too

I look forward to when AI can extrapolate, rather than interpolate.

Precisely, AI is far away from creativity.
