> Google's model exceeds average human performance on >50% of language tasks

I guess I'm just not interested, or worried, in a model that can beat the average human performance. That's an astoundingly low bar. Let me know when it can outperform experts in meaningful language tasks.

This is a great example of the "moving goalposts" of AI.

100 years ago, a comment like yours would have sounded absurd.

There was a time when we didn't have any models that could beat any human's performance in any task.
