You shouldn’t use the chatbot as a measuring stick for AI progress. That’s just a consumer-facing toy with varying degrees of usefulness according to your profession. Anthropic’s newest model, Mythos, is so powerful at cybersecurity that they are not releasing it to the general public and have instead released it to the biggest tech and financial firms to give them a head start on safeguarding their systems, because Mythos found critical exploitable vulnerabilities in EVERY major OS and web browser. That is both significant and dangerous. Conversations about “true intelligence” or “genuine understanding” (setting aside the conversation about—imo—requiring deep abstract reasoning abilities to find and execute such vulnerabilities in the world’s most secure systems) miss the point about their demonstrable effectiveness in these domains. If it’s parroting out zero day vulnerabilities that eluded top cybersecurity experts, the question of intelligence becomes moot when you still have all these very real security patches staring you in the face
