> A system with superhuman capabilities cannot make basic mistakes consistently
That sounds like a definition you just made up to fit your story. A system can both make bigger leaps in a field where the smartest human is unfamiliar and make dumber mistakes than a 10 year old. I can say that confidently, because we have such systems. We call them LLMs.
It's like claiming that it can't both be sunny and rainy. Nevertheless, it happens.
Yeah I don't know what your definition of human is, but in my definition of when comparing something to an average human, knowing a name is an innate quality. If a human is consistently forgetting names I will think something is wrong with that human that they are unable to remember names.
I think you should work with a bunch of highly respected PhD researchers. This is a quality many share - the classic “can solve super hard problems but can’t tie their shoes” is a trope because versions of it ring true. This is not to say what LLMs are doing is thinking per se, but what we do isn’t magic either. We just haven’t explained all the mechanisms of human thought yet. How much overlap between the two is up for debate considering how little actual thinking people do day to day; most folks almost always are just reacting to a stimuli.
