ChatGPT’s IQ is 155. Einstein’s Was 160. Predicting GPT-5
GPT-4 got 10X smarter than 3.5 in just a matter of months and without many changes.
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, particularly with platforms like ChatGPT, has sparked an intriguing and somewhat controversial discussion in the tech world. Today, there is a claim that ChatGPT has reached an IQ level of 155. This puts it, intriguingly, in the same ballpark as Albert Einstein, whose IQ is often cited as around 160. We find ourselves in an era where we are comparing the intellectual capacities of machines with those of one of the greatest minds in human history.
AI experts, however, suggest that this comparison is just the beginning. According to them, we are merely at the “very, very, very top of the iceberg” in understanding and developing AI capabilities. The progress made from ChatGPT 3.5 to ChatGPT 4 exemplifies this rapid advancement. ChatGPT-4 became ten times smarter than its predecessor in just a few months, and this was achieved without significant changes to its underlying architecture.
GPT-5 Could Have an IQ Of 👇
This pace of development leads to an exciting, if speculative, prediction: ChatGPT-5, or the next generation of GPT transformers, could be launched in the coming months. If the trend of exponential growth in AI capabilities continues, and if it indeed becomes ten times smarter than its current iteration, we could be looking at an AI with an estimated IQ of 1600.
But what does this mean in practical terms?
To put it into perspective, consider the gap in understanding between the average person and a genius like Einstein. When Einstein discussed his theories of relativity, most people would candidly admit, “I have no idea what you’re talking about”. This gap in understanding is significant, yet it pales in comparison to what we might experience with an AI surpassing Einstein’s intelligence tenfold. If an AI reaches an IQ of 1600, it could be presenting ideas, theories, and concepts so advanced that they would be utterly incomprehensible to the average human mind.
The implications of such an advanced AI are vast and varied. It could lead to groundbreaking advancements in science, medicine, technology, and more. However, it also raises questions about the nature of intelligence, the relationship between human and machine cognition, and the ethical considerations of creating an entity that far surpasses human intelligence.
As we stand on the brink of these potentially monumental developments in AI, it’s important to remember that intelligence, whether artificial or human, is a tool. The true measure of its value and impact will depend on how we choose to use it. The future of AI, like any technological advancement, should be guided by thoughtful consideration of its benefits, risks, and the broader implications for society.
*p.s.: AI operates and ‘thinks’ very differently from humans. IQ tests are designed for human cognition and are not directly applicable to artificial intelligence like ChatGPT. Therefore, it’s not accurate or meaningful to assign an IQ score to an AI system but still …
