To quote Gemini, what the quack! Even with the understanding that these are handpicked interactions that are likely to be among the system's best responses, that is an extremely impressive level of understanding and reasoning.

Calls for a new corollary to Clarke's Third Law. "Any sufficiently-advanced rigged demo is indistinguishable from magic."

Magic Leap!

And for the development team it's predicated upon Hoffsteader's Law.

Does it really need to have affectations like "What the quack!"? These affectations are lab grown and not cute.

I liked them

You missed the joke! Look at their username ;)

I think that wasn't a joke and the poster is just using a throwaway account

I guess it's like drawing googly eyes on clippy: it helps sell the illusion that you are interacting with something alive instead of an automatic system.

Except that it doesn't.

Unless it was put in there manually, it's emergent, isn't it?

  Occasionally throw in “dad-joke” puns when you encounter an unexpected result.

Or something along those lines in the original prompt.

If it were emergent it would say WTF.

Reminds me of their demo a few years back when they had AI call a hair salon to schedule an appointment. When the receptionist asked if they could put the caller on hold, it did the "mmm hmm" that was uncannily human like

What would be Gemini's current IQ? I would suspect it's higher than the average human's.

GPT 4 already scored higher than 95% of people. The average human isn't really all that smart.

On knowledge tests for sure. It completely falls short on common sense in which it's worse than almost anyone.

Well IQ is a reasoning test, and common sense is practical every day reasoning, so it should cover that. Are we talking about the same people that try to wrestle alligators, sign up for pyramid schemes and ride speedbikes in a T shirt and shorts? Common sense isn't super common.

The thing with IQ tests is they're all based on similar concepts so it's possible to train for them which is what AI does. Most humans grow up learning to walk, speak, interact, read non verbal cues. I would argue a musicians wouldn't tend to be a higher IQ than an average person but an AI can't come close to writing a song and playing a guitar that reasonates with people. AI can assist with it but it's missing the human spark for now

Have you not tried Suno AI?

We are not that far away of AI creating perfect music for us.

The average human is not trained to be smart. They are trained to earn money, provide for family and navigate social situations.
