It means AI can recite information from a domain that PhD-level people are concerned with. This doesn’t mean it can draw correct conclusions, rephrase emails properly or do any heavy-lifting like come up with computer code beyond boilerplate templates and tech-demos. It’s mainly just hype. AI is useful. But not very bright as of today.
The funny thing in my field is that real life PhD’s tend to be worse than Masters-level staff because they’ve gone so far into theory that they have problems with practical application.
It’s almost like AI is purely marketing and also has problems with practical application.
It means piled higher and deeper will become the official definition.
A couple of days ago another Chinese company dropped their general AI agent which seems to blow openAIs plans out of the water:
It’s already hitting the mainstream press: https://www.forbes.com/sites/craigsmith/2025/03/08/chinas-autonomous-agent-manus-changes-everything/
Lots of social buzz already saying this could be bigger than deepseek as Manus says in their video that this will be open sourced. So good luck with your money plans OpenAI!
Important to note that Forbes at this point is a blog site. It can’t be considered news anymore; they’re using the name to conjure prior panache.
Okay sure. But there are dozens of reports already on different news sites.
Which is all well and good but changes nothing about Forbes. Why not, armed with this new information, update your post to make my comment look irrelevant by sourcing something reputable?
