See https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/mostly-skeptical-thoughts-on-the (note that I'm asking about the inverse of his 4th prediction). Resolution criteria from the post:
"The AI will fail this task if there’s any kind of post I write that it can’t imitate - for example analyzing scientific data, or writing fiction, or reviewing books. It will fail this task it it writes fluently but says false things (at a rate higher than I do), eg if it makes up references. It doesn’t have to be able to coordinate complex multistep projects like the Book Review Contest".

Scott Alexander was the original ChatGPT

Based on all the questions that matter but pretends he isn’t (many masks on)

I feel as though the quality of Scots writing has been declining over time

Will this market result based on the 75 percentile of current post or 2030 psts

@MordecaiWeynberg You should ask Scott. Unless he's being blantantly dishonest or unreasonable, I'll resolve however he decides

I take it "75th percentile" has its usual meaning of the bottom 25%, not the top 25%?

bought Ṁ10 of YES

@PhilipGoetz Isn’t that not the usual meaning? I would assume top 25%. (Though I would be very surprised if an AI could do one but not the other)

Yes, you're right. I was confused because I usually deal with statements about "the top N percentile". But "the 99th percentile" means the top 1%.

@PhilipGoetz But note "the 1%" also means the top 1%.
