I've been pretty amazed with its ability to write python, and pretty disappointed with its ability to write nix derivations. The average person can't do both, so I'd say it "knows" much more than any single idealized person.

I figure the discrepancy has to do with one of these languages having an absolutely massive amount of chatter about it, and the other being relatively obscure: It's smart about things that lots of people are smart about, and dumb about things that only a few people are smart about. Well not just "smart" really, but "smart-enough and willing to publish about it".

I think we're going to need fewer people with common knowledge and more people with specialized knowledge, and we're going to have to figure out how to optimize the specialist's outputs so that the widest audience benefits. I love how not-a-zero-sum-game it's going to be.
