Maybe I was unclear but I'm not claiming that GPT-4 is as good as the median human in any task.

Claiming GPT-4 doesn't "fail anything" here is a little pedantic, if you are saying saying well hey it doesn't get a 0 score on anything. The conclusion of the paper is literally GPT-4 fails "to robustly form abstractions and reason about basic core concepts in contexts not previously seen in its training data".
And yes, I know the whole "generalization is always a data problem" / "humans come with millions of years of training data" take, but if you follow ARC, it's pretty obvious this type of abstraction forming is the clearest spot where models consistently fail and humans excel. Which to me implies less of a data issue and more of a architectural difference that has yet to be overcome.

Also, how the data is presented matters a lot. Currently, LLMs handle the benchmark much better presented linearly in 1 dimension
