Re:Qwen2.5 Turbo extends context length to 1M tokens by achierius on Monday November 18, 2024 @01:00PM (#42175008)
In the same sense (though to greater extent) that calculators are, sure. Calculators can also far exceed human capacity to, well, calculate. LLMs are similar: spikes of capacity in various areas (bulk summarization, translation, general recall, ...) that humans could never hope to match, but not capable of beating humans at a more general range of tasks.

If we restrict ourselves only to language (LLMs are at a disadvantage because there is no common physical body we can train them on at the present moment... that will change), I think LLMs beat humans for most tasks.
