When they achieve any intelligence it will be a milestone. Right now they just have scripts that regurgitates word salads.
Define "intelligence"?
Dartmouth has a PhD in Dumbassery?
... at 9 AM on a Saturday morning.
What’s intelligent about getting deep into debt and using up years of your life to get into niche work you can only do in a handful of locations, if you’re lucky?
depends on the field, Most people earning a phd can at least find a job eventhough it might not be the one you want. cant say the same for a BS, MS holders they have a much harder time, because employers are cheapskate.
So it will be an absolute genius about some very narrow field, and spout complete drivel about literally everything else?
Do I get to choose the PhD? Because an LLM that's like, a biblical scholar or something, won't help me very much.
Except for 'genius'. A PhD meant you will likely be extremely well 'informed' about a specific topic in a very narrow field. So well informed that you will be able to come up with 'something' worth saying even to others that are well informed in that same field. It's a pretty low bar with an extremely high motivation/focus/effort requirement.
I think it's similar to a job we were hiring for that was essentially cold calling companies too sell licenses for Microsoft. To apply you were required to have a BA. A BA in what, you might ask? Well that didn't even make it onto the form we used. It was just a checkbox. It was literally a gauge to see if you'd been able to stick through a program like that.
I'd just assume it was a BA in Microsoft Licensing. Surprised that doesn't have its own college degree program.
Have you ever seen the degrees in professor's office? None of them are level
Fuck, we’re even more doomed than I thought possible… Best I can offer is Ph.D level stupidity
True, just not in its field of study.
