@GaryMarcus I like that you push back on AI claims (I cite you in my book), but I find it frustrating to see you screenshots of a description of a paper’s finding without actually including the reference or engaging with the underlying research.

@GaryMarcus I am not making a random statement, I am citing this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.05812…

So it might be better to discuss the research here rather than having subjective conversation.

But leaps on many measures from GPT-3 to 3.5 to GPT-4 were more than a doubling of capabilities.

People eat this stuff up.

But @emollick is there any evidence that it was true over the last 13 months, since GPT-4 was released?
Is GPT turbo—or any other model—twice as good as GPT-4? Four or more times as good? By what metric?

I really don’t see that in the data.
