One of the most absurd takes I’ve seen on OpenAI’s o1. A PhD doesn’t make you a genius—it’s specialized knowledge in one field. I work on plant cell wall integrity and dynamics, and I bet o1 is just as clueless as ChatGPT when I quiz it (and will probably end with 'agricultural impact' 😂).

A caption from OpenAI's webpage about OpenAI o1. It reads: We also evaluated o1 on GPQA diamond, a difficult intelligence benchmark which tests for expertise in chemistry, physics and biology. In order to compare models to humans, we recruited experts with PhDs to answer GPQA-diamond questions. We found that o1 surpassed the performance of those human experts, becoming the first model to do so on this benchmark. These results do not imply that o1 is more capable than a PhD in all respects — only that the model is more proficient in solving some problems that a PhD would be expected to solve. On several other ML benchmarks, o1 improved over the state-of-the-art. With its vision perception capabilities enabled, o1 scored 78.2% on MMMU, making it the first model to be competitive with human experts. It also outperformed GPT-4o on 54 out of 57 MMLU subcategories.

Update: It did not end with agricultural impact, it ended up getting confused and switching to... Korean?

A caption. I told the new ChatGPT AI model, OpenAI o1, to discuss cell wall integrity with me –my research topic. It got confused and switched to Korean. The caption says:
Understanding plant adaptability
I’m thinking through how the plant cell wall is crucial for coping with environmental shifts, supporting growth, fending off pathogens, and responding to stress. This adaptability makes plants resilient in changing climates.
이는 식물 세포 벽의 기계화학적 속성을 조정하기 위해 알려지지 않은 신호를 감지하는 CWI 모니터링 시스템의 역동적인 역할을 설명하고 있습니다

The Korean part translates, according to Google, to: 
This illustrates the dynamic role of the CWI monitoring system in detecting unknown signals to modulate the mechanochemical properties of plant cell walls.

I know it's trivial, but since AI I've not been able to send a text without having to correct the "corrected" spelling! With only a B.Sc. I struggle to discover how to turn it off.
