> ChatGPT equalizes intelligence

Citation needed

how can you ask this question with on a post titled "Amateur armed with ChatGPT solves an Erdős problem"???? are you looking for some randomised control trial? omg

  • We just look at comments from AI boosters and it is self-evident that no intelligence is being equalized.

  • God, do people not read my posts? I wrote this: "It also exposes their ACTUAL intelligence which is to say most of HN is not too smart."

    These types of people need citations for the time of day. They don't know how to argue in abstract terms if no science has been conducted on the topic.

  • Idk, going out on a limb and guessing the folks who hang out on erdosproblems.com aren’t run-of-the-mill dumbasses. The prompt, if you look at it, is actually quite clever. Not as clever as the proof. But far from the equalization OP posits.

    • Directionally it is correct - an amateur wouldn’t be able to do this without ChatGPT. You can’t expect maximal democratisation
