Summary
The article discusses the variability in the capability of current AI technology and compares it to the diverse abilities of human contestants in the International Mathematical Olympiad. It highlights the selective nature of the IMO as a measure of mathematical achievement for high school students.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledIt is tempting to view the capability of current AI technology as a singular quantity: either a given task X is within the ability of current tools, or it is not.
The IMO is widely regarded as a highly selective measure of mathematical achievement for a high school student to be able to score well enough to receive a medal.
Even answering one question perfectly merits an 'honorable mention'.
