AI models flub these intelligence tests. Can you fare any better?
TL;DR
Puzzles and games have been central to AI development since the very beginning. Just as we humans like to test our smarts with crosswords or logic puzzles, developers can test how far models have advanced with a gaming gauntlet. The term “machine learning” was popularized in a 1959 article by the IBM computer scientist Arthur….
Nauti's Take
These tests have an advantage over benchmark tables: they make it visible to anyone where models actually stumble instead of comparing percentages. The problem is transferability, because a solved logic puzzle says little about reliability in daily work.
Teams picking a model use puzzles like these as a gut check and then test against their own real tasks.
