Am I supposed to be impressed? I have a PhD level intelligence and I am not exactly impressive.

You missed what they meant. It means gpt5 is really good at one arbitrary and extremely specific topic. Anything else it's comparable with a random person on the street.

Reality is the opposite though. GPT5 is expert in a pretty wide amount of trivia. It’s better than the average uneducated person in every subject, but worse than an expert in every subject.

And the average person has (usually) no idea if what they're being fed is even correct. But as long as it sounds correct to someone who has no idea...
