eli5- How is chatGPT able to take tests like the bar exam, GRE and SAT?

436 views

I’ve seen a bunch of articles talking about how chatGPT has passed various standardized tests but I’ve never seen anyone talk about the process. Is there a time limit for chatGPT to take the test? Is there someone there entering the test questions manually into ChatGPT as questions come up?

The tests you picked have fixed answers and are mostly about remembering the correct information that needs to be applied.

Things like chatgpt and computer are excellent at storing and being able to access information so then trick is getting the program to be able to “read” the question, find the right information, and write a sensible answer.

What these programs are doing is taking all the data they have stored and computing how likely words and topics are related and how to put a readable sentence. So the words Heart and cardiovascular are going to put together, stroke and cardiovascular as well, stroke and numbness etc. It also does this with how sentences are supposed to written. The rules say it’s white (adjective) dog (noun) not dog white.

And like how we teach babies words/associations by repetition the ai gets lots and lots of input that repeat the same relationships. This makes the ai better both at understanding what the question is asking and how to put then sentence together since it sees how all the data we gave it did it, and then used math to make sure it puts words in the right order.
