    PhD level intelligence? Sounds about right.

    Extremely narrow field of expertise ✔️
    Misplaced confidence in its abilities outside its area of expertise ✔️
    A mind filled with millions of things that have been read, and near zero from interactions with real people✔️
    An obsession over how many words can get published over the quality and correctness of those words ✔️
    A lack of social skills ✔️
    A complete lack of familiarity of how things work in the real world ✔️

    Translation: GPT-5 will (most likely illegally) be fed academic papers that are currently behind a paywall

      I mean, GPT 3.5 consistently quotes my dissertation and conference papers back to me when I ask it anything related to my (extremely niche, but still) research interests. It’s definitely had access to plenty of publications for a while without managing to make any sense of them.

      Alternatively, and probably more likely, my papers are incoherent and it’s not GPT’s fault. If 8.0 gets tenure track maybe it will learn to ignore desperate ramblings of PhD students. Once 9.0 gets tenured though I assume it will only reference itself.
