Asking Good Questions Is Harder Than Giving Great Answers
Briefly

The discourse surrounding 'Humanity's Last Exam' reveals crucial flaws in how AI intelligence is assessed. By focusing heavily on mathematics while neglecting history, the test misrepresents what constitutes a comprehensive measure of knowledge. The history section, particularly criticized for its emphasis on trivial naval battles and convoluted questions, fails to truly evaluate human-like understanding. The article argues that robust intelligence tests should prioritize the nature of questions asked, showcasing the essence of human inquiry which current examinations neglect, thereby stunting meaningful AI assessments.
The current AI intelligence tests lack the depth and emphasis on human inquiry, highlighting a significant shortcoming in evaluating true AI comprehension of knowledge.
