LLMs aren't as good as average humans, most software folks like us like to believe rest of the world is dumb but it isn't.
My grand-dad who only ever farmed land and had no education at all could talk, calculate, and manage his farm land. Was he not as good as me at anything academic yes. But
I will never be as good at him at understanding how to farm stuff.
Most people in who think LLMs are smart seem to conflate ignorance/lack of knowledge to being dumb.
This is a rather reductive take, and no I don't believe that's how human intelligence works.
Your dumb uncle on thanks giving who might even have a lot of bad traits isn't dumb likely just ignorant. All human IQ studies and movies have distorted our perception of intelligence.
A more intelligent person doesn't necessarily need to have more or better quality knowledge.
Or measuring them with academic abilities like writing and maths is the dumber/irresponsible take.
And yes please feel free to call me dumb in response.
