99.9% of humans will never solve a novel problem. It's a bad benchmark to use here
But they will solve a problem novel to them, since they haven't read all of the text that exists.
I agree. But it’s worth being somewhat skeptical of ASI scenarios if you can’t, for example, give a well formulated math problem to a LLM and it cannot solve it. Until we get a Reimann hypothesis calculator (or equivalent for hard/old unsolved maths) it’s kind of silly to be debating the extreme ends of AI cognition theory
