Things.
Like you're like, hey, can you, you know, look at this spreadsheet?
Can you do all these fancy operations?
They've never really been able to practice that before.
And so they often sort of get confused or get stuck, even though they know, you know, they they know vastly more than any of us because they've read so much more than any of us.
So, you know, in terms of their breadth of knowledge, they're much smarter than us.
But in terms of sort of their actual real life experience, well, they've only I mean they've seen people sort of say stuff on the internet, but they have
never really tried to do stuff.
And so this is why I think right now they're very bad at like
They're very good at sort of helping you answer knowledge questions, but they're pretty bad at actually doing things.
You know, in some ways they're surprisingly good at at some things, like they can actually write code, and that's sort of surprising.
Like if you or I had only read programming textbooks and then we tried to write code, we'd we would like not nothing would compile.
But somehow they're they're they're sort of they're they're they they've you know, if they've read enough, they they're they're actually really good at this prediction task, they can do a little bit.
Everything I said was true up until sometime last year when
When AI companies started to train these systems, they forted out with a system that's you know read the whole internet and learned by this imitation paradigm, like by by reading the textbooks.
But starting with this model called O1, OpenAI started to train their models not just on that, but also on
trying to solve problems.
Like they gave it a bunch of math problems and a bunch of programming problems.
And they said, Hey,
You know, r show your work, you know, write out a long sort of like series of steps where you try to solve this problem and then give me the answer.
