Note that I am not making the statement that you need a PhD to be intelligent. Anthropic is claiming Claude 3 is intelligent because it scores high on some supposedly useful tests.
1. I don't think it's surprising a machine trained on the whole Internet scores well on standardized tests. I'd be shocked if the opposite was true.
2. I don't think scoring high on such tests is a measure of actual intelligence or even utility of the model.
Whoever told you that?
