I can call a coworker right now and have a real time conversation with them without feeling like I’m talking to a frustrating machine. Most of them, anyway. But I guess that’s “moving the goalposts”.

These machines were designed with the express purpose of being condescendingly sycophant to the point they hallucinate just to state "you are absolutely right".
No wonder some people even find these chatbots to be wife material.
And it disagrees with me a lot, granted this is in the webchat which I don't use for programming but for general usage seems to work, it isn't sycophantic
I don't have those system prompts, but gemini pushes back on its own quite a bit. It'll tell me when I wrong, or when there are better options to consider. They won't be exhaustive, but good enough for 95% of my queries, so it's also my go-to web chat.
Random humans don't have a significant cross section of human knowledge available in real-time, although many like to pretend they do, especially in internet comments :P Being able to compete with the capabilities of a median human would be an absolutely world changing achievement.
What do you mean? Virtually all humans have access to the internet. That's literally "a significant cross section of human knowledge available in real-time".
Oh, the median human can't process that in realtime, you say? Looks like they can't compete with the capabilities of the frontier AI then.
Yep - I like to phrase it as "AI is better at most tasks than most people". AI will still be beat at experts at specific tasks, but in general I find it to be better than me at the areas where I have no expertise. It's the ultimate generalist.
Have you? It’s a dumb model that gets a lot wrong. Codex voice is IMO only good for when I cannot dictate into the good models. The delay introduced by letting it work with a good model kills it for me.
