I just want it to cook for me and clean my goddamn house.
I'd settle for laundry and dishes
Best I can do is a creepy-ass remote operated robot that’s supposed to do your chores.

They said that for v3.5 lol
Yes. "PhD" level intelligence. Not PhD level intelligence. The quotes are part of the word. They are not optional.
No no. "Ph.D." stands for "Phillip Dick", an old drinking pal of Sam Altman. According to some interviews, you can ask him pretty much anything and get a response.
If you take me as the reference PhD, then it'd be stupid as fuck.
I still really doubt the ability for LLMs to develop new knowledge and experiment to prove its accuracy. They do a below average job at spitting out existing knowledge but creating new information that isn’t already on Wikipedia or elsewhere on the internet is something else beyond their scope.
There are certain types of problems they are better at solving. Basically if we already have all of the needed information, but you need to synthesize a huge amount of it into the final answer, they'll be excellent at that kind of issue.
True, they can be a useful tool. One of the big things that really annoy me is how they are being pushed as a solve everything miracle rather than just a tool that is useful in certain cases.
I guess that isn’t as profitable and they have to push it on everyone for things it does poorly just in the name of forcing widespread adoption.

it'll know all about cellular biology and not be able to operate a cash register.
PhD level intelligence
Which PhD's, exactly?
Yes, that matters quite a lot, actually.
So it will be an absolute genius about some very narrow field, and spout complete drivel about literally everything else?
Do I get to choose the PhD? Because an LLM that's like, a biblical scholar or something, won't help me very much.
