I figure the discrepancy has to do with one of these languages having an absolutely massive amount of chatter about it, and the other being relatively obscure: It's smart about things that lots of people are smart about, and dumb about things that only a few people are smart about. Well not just "smart" really, but "smart-enough and willing to publish about it".
I think we're going to need fewer people with common knowledge and more people with specialized knowledge, and we're going to have to figure out how to optimize the specialist's outputs so that the widest audience benefits. I love how not-a-zero-sum-game it's going to be.
It’s like talking to someone who says “but everyone else says.”
That’ll change when connected to a source of truth, logic and validity.
How do I get connected to one of those?

exactly! It is the person from Idiocracy with exactly 100% IQ. It only knows what the absolute average person know. For example, it knows almost nothing about healthcare in other countries (outside the US). Just watch me get lambasted on reddit after using info from ChatPGT: https://old.reddit.com/r/ShitAmericansSay/comments/11f5tbt/a...
On the other hand, in a subject area where you know very little, it's 100 IQ seems like genius! It fills in a lot of gaps. People comparing it to AGI are perfectionists, dramatic, or missing the point. It's not supposed to be smarter than us. and so what if it can't? It helps me write country songs about any news article.
