Somehow I imagine the 200 IQ one being more of a series of fragmented thoughts and references to other concepts that would only make sense to someone else of similar intelligence. They would need far less context and explanation than the others.

Kind of how when doing a math test, both the super high and low IQ people just write an answer but the rest of us have lines of working steps. They can intuit steps that most can't.

There can be different target audiences:

Prompt: Pretend to be a person with IQ of 200. You are explaining to a person with IQ of 200. Why does it rain?

ChatGPT: Rain occurs as a result of the earth's atmosphere and the process of evaporation and condensation. When the sun's energy heats up the surface of the earth, water evaporates from the surface, such as from bodies of water or plants. This water vapor rises and cools as it rises, forming clouds. Eventually, the water droplets within the clouds become heavy enough to fall back to the earth as precipitation, specifically as rain. This process is known as the water cycle and is essential for maintaining the balance of water on our planet.

That seems like maybe an IQ 110 response, just barely more advanced than mass market media.

An actual 200 IQ explanation seems like it would be more like: "It's an evaporation/condensation cycle," with all the obvious implications left unspoken.

idk, smart people who are not on the spectrum tend to be great at explaining things in an easy to understand way for people of any intelligence level.

As for people on the spectrum, it depends on how they are specifically, many things can cause them to be more or less understandable to any joe-shmoe.

There's a series on YouTube called 5 Levels where Wired asked an expert in a domain to explain a concept to a child, teen, college student, grad student, and expert.

Keep in mind this isn't a real person with an IQ of 200, that's what the model learned about how people who claim to have an IQ of 200 on the internet. Usually people with a high IQ don't mention their IQ.

"if you have to say it, you probably don't have it"

used in the context of money, but works just fine for other areas
