    So predicting the next word given all humanity’s knowledge is surely going to max out at slightly less good (we probably can’t get perfect data) than the best human in any specific field. What test does the AI do to be able to understand it is improving? At some point it becomes impossible to know that the output is actually better right?

      ...but many orders of magnitude faster, and in a way that scales horizontally really well, which is quite useful even if the quality isn't quite what a the absolute best humans can do.

        We’re talking about run away self improvement of these systems, I’m not even convinced we’ve seen these systems invent a single new thing yet.
