Christian Szegedy asked on X whether people would use an AI they considered “dumber” than themselves.

Featured Source

Two replies complicated the premise. Lewis Tunstall said he was surprised that “Yes” was not closer to 95%, adding that people in the “X bubble” had probably used GPT-3.5. That was Tunstall’s speculation, not a measured claim about GPT-3.5 use or a captured poll result.

Bojan Tunguz drew a distinction between intelligence and expertise. He wrote that, until the summer, AI systems were “dumber” than he was while still having expertise far beyond his own.

The exchange does not establish a consensus or define how intelligence should be measured.

Lewis Tunstall @ COLM 🌉@_lewtun@ChrSzegedy I'm surprised Yes isn't ~95% given that most people in the X bubble have probably used gpt-3.5 :)20h
Bojan Tunguz@tunguz@ChrSzegedy I mean, until this Summer they were all dumber than me, but they had the *expertise* that was way beyond what I had.19h
Leo Boytsov@srchvrsThere's no universal smartness. People or AI systems differ in capabilities. If you lack certain capabilities you get help, it doesn't make one dumber or smarter.18h
