The factoid that “MS copilot was more successful than 84% of college students at intro level college course tests” isn’t an indication that an LLM is doing something impressive.
It’s an indication that we failed a whole generation of young people by feeding them mediocrity and industrialized info packages instead of meaningful human education.
If you approach your education as a means of turning people into cogs in a machine, of course the machine will be more successful than most of them.
