You phrase it as a diss but "Yeah LLM suck, they aren't even as smart as Ramanujan" sounds like a high praise to me.
You're comparing apples and oranges.
Also, your comparison is unfair. You've chosen an exceptional high achiever as your example of a human to compare against LLMs. If you instead compare the average human, LLMs don't look so bad even when the human has the advantage of specialisation (e.g. medical diagnostics). A LLM can do reasonably well against an average (not exceptional) person with just a basic grade school education if asked to produce an essay on some topic.
>No one reasonably expects a LLM to be able to do the former
I can feel Sam Altman's rage building ...
