No test measures intelligence. A test only measures you relative to the persons that wrote the test. – loosely quoting Asimov.

2007 is ancient history now. It is an interesting graph that one might correlate with a lack of meritocratic structure in society, but I'm on the low end cause I say this without looking up and reading the study. Pretty pictures evoke emotional blabbering bias and all that.

I now use the "Likes AI Test" to measure IQ. The premise is that AI can only be average because it consumes everything on the internet indiscriminately. So, people with greater than average critical thinking and knowledge hate AI because its dumber than them and useless. Conversely, people with less than average critical think and knowledge love AI because it seems smarter than them. So if we measure someones like or dislike of AI we can infer the general range of their IQ.

Given this above test, this means my boss is a fucking idiot and gets paid a lot of money to be an idiot.

AI because its dumber than them and useless.

I am much better at washing dishes by hand than my dishwasher. I still mostly let my dishwasher have a crack at things to spare me from usually having to bother.

It's a bit trickier with AI, as it's more obnoxiously screwing up when it screws up, but at least upon occasion it's able to spit out a few mind numbingly obvious lines of code that would have taken me longer to type myself, because I can only hit keyboard buttons so fast.

If you're using AI because it's smart, you're dump. However AI holds imo way more value in knowledge and speed for simple tasks.

It doesn't matter how smart you are, AI has more knowledge than you. Maybe not in a specific field but its a valuable tool in getting knowledge for a lot of different topics.

It doesn't matter how smart you are, AI is faster in simple tasks like creating a python script to parse hex data and visualize it.

So even though I hate AI like the next person I think this IQ measuring you proposed is bullshit.

Every accusation is a confession

[–] Newsteinleo@midwest.social 1 points 7 hours ago

That retort does not work in this context.

Congrats you're dumber than AI
