Some kind of way it is not true in a common sense way. Things that would resolve this yes (draft):

  • We look at the data and it turns out that information was leaked to the LLM somehow

  • The questions were selected in a way that chose easy questions

  • The date of forecast was somehow chosen so as to benefit the LLM

  • This doesn't continue working over the next year of questions (more accurately than last year of metaculus crowd, ie the crowd can't win because it gets more accurate)

  • The AI was just accessing forecasts and parroting them.
