> This is basically just very generic common sense to me

It's important to remember that we are talking about a calculator that doesn't have an understanding of common sense. Unironically, this is common sense.

Yes, but I write this putting an ‘average AI company CEO’ hat on. We hear statements about outstanding intelligence (not just usefulness as a tool, which is no doubt already there), so it’s interesting to see that the authors themselves don’t treat it like that

I think the old Dijkstra quote apples now more than ever:

“The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.”

Whatever these things are doing, it’s not the same as what a person does. Trying to decide if whatever they do fits into the box we label as “intelligence” is completely uninteresting, in my view. What’s interesting is figuring out just what they can do and how best to use them, which sounds like a related question but really isn’t.

It's because people using this hat are under heavy AI psychosis.
