What do we do to assess the intelligence of these models after they are smarter than any human? From the kinds of questions it's answering seems like they are almost there.

Do we have a way to tell if one model is smarter than another at that point?

Nah, at the end of the day "things that are easy for humans are [still] hard for computers, and vice versa". DeepBlue was super-human at chess and couldn't play tic tac toe. Today's AI is (almost?) super-human at math yet only very recently learned to play tic tac toe, and still can't learn to do anything - because it can't learn, and has no innate drives to expose itself to learning situations even if it could.

Here's a real world intelligence test. Take on each AI as a remote intern/new-hire, and try to train it to become a useful team member (solving math puzzles or manufacturing paperclips does not count).

There are things besides measuring intelligence, like humor. Currently, all the bots struggle with making jokes.

What you probably mean is puzzle solving intelligence. Humor is a form of intelligence. It's just not only about intelligence - it's also about values, and context, for instance. But all this reflects a form of intelligence. Neverthless, intelligence shouldn't be ranked, at least not in the way we are used to talk about it.

Ask them to design a ranking mechanism for you. They are superhuman, after all.

(I really don't think we're going to have to worry about this).

Almost there? Are we looking at the same thing?
