""doesn't have the reasoning capabilities" of "great" human scientists who can "spot some pattern from another subject area" and apply it to another."
""So you often hear some of our competitors talk about these modern systems that we have today that are PhD intelligences," "I think that's nonsense," "They're not PhD intelligences. They have some capabilities that are PhD level, but they're not in general capable.""
""With GPT-5, now it's like talking to an expert, a legitimate PhD-level expert in anything, in any area you need,""
Demis Hassabis, Google DeepMind CEO and Nobel laureate, warns that current AI lacks the general reasoning of leading human scientists and cannot transfer insights across domains. He rejects labeling modern systems as outright PhD-level intelligences, saying systems can show PhD-level capabilities in limited areas but lack broad general capability. OpenAI promotes GPT-5 as producing PhD-level expertise and cites selective benchmarks. Persistent problems such as hallucinations and failures on basic reasoning examples undermine claims of true general intelligence and indicate benchmarks do not fully capture real-world capability.
