Hardly impressive, since it can use the entire internet as a cheat sheet during the “exam”
Yup. Every test administered to an AI is an "open book" exam. No real test of mastery, just a test of ability to track down the answers.
AI is a threat to many kinds of employment. Software engineers are clearly targets. The skilled crafts think they are safe. They are not. The AI can reduce many of the skilled crafts in to a detailed set of instructions that anyone of average reading ability can follow. Law, medicine, replacing a water heater. Even surgery can be delegated to robots guided by AI. The pursuit for humans will be some form of productive labor that can't be replaced by AI/robotics.
