What I find delightful about this is that I already wasn't impressed! Because, as the paper goes on to say

Moreover, although the UBE is a closed-book exam for humans, GPT-4’s huge training corpus largely distilled in its parameters means that it can effectively take the UBE “open-book”

And here I was thinking it not getting a perfect score on multiple-choice questions was already damning. But apparently it doesn't even get a particularly good score!

[...W]hen examining only those who passed the exam (i.e. licensed or license-pending attorneys), GPT-4’s performance is estimated to drop to 48th percentile overall, and 15th percentile on essays.

officially Not The Worst™, so clearly AI is going to take over law and governments any day now

also. what the hell is going on in that other reply thread. just a parade of people incorrecting each other going "LLM's don't work like [bad analogy], they work like [even worse analogy]". did we hit too many buzzwords?

"Nooo you don't get it, LLMs are supposed to be shit"

But LLM’s don’t work like Typewriters, they work like Microwaves!

oh is that how come I get so much popcorn around these discussions? 🤔 makes sense when you think about it!

I was considering interjecting in there but I don’t want to get it on my clothes, so I’m content just watching from the outside.

Not great, but I’m also not obligated to teach anyone anything, soooooo
