  • Stochastic parrot parrots stochastically. News at 11.

    According to LifePrompt Inc., the generative AI chatbot scored 50 points higher than the top test-taker … …Since the answers included essay responses, they were graded by teachers from major cram school Kawai Juku.

    So it’s an AI company that conducted its own administration of the tests and had them graded by people who are not official graders, so the headline is just false since it’s not even official or controlled. I wonder, did Mainichi consider that maybe, just maybe, they may have a self-interested bias in making the AI seem more capable than it actually is?

    I get it - the AI company wants to exaggerate and there’s always a press outlet willing to push a story that’s too good to fact-check - but I’m tired, boss.
