    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?

      I dunno if it would max out at slightly less good, I imagine it would max out around the distribution of it's data set, which could be significantly worse than top experts.

        Not necessarily; these learning things are super non convex and it's not clear to me "where" they max out
