How should we rank GPT-5 on AI and Superintelligence?

Irish Tech News Audio Articles ·

2025/08/18

By David Stephen who looks at GPT-5 in this article. AI benchmarks have created a false impression about how to evaluate AI models: test AI for complex questions that several humans can't answer; even if AI does well, conclude that AI has not matched vital human intelligence. If AI gets things right that several humans would - on average - not get right, should that not be considered a significant leap? If there are quality knowledge of professional value that AI was trained on and can

By David Stephen who considers Human Intelligence in this article. There is no AI company on earth, currently, that has a Human Intelligence Research Lab. This means a lab that exists just to study and show how human intelligence works. None, zero. This lab would not cost them as much as AI, and could become more important and profitable than their work on AI - given the world's population.
