You would think so...

I asked this question in a college-level class with clickers. For the initial question I told them, "This is a trick question, your first answer might not be right". Still less than 10% of students got the right answer.

Students are more arrogant than LLMs (but still more generally intelligent)

This idea that students are "more generally intelligent" requires specific arguments to support. ChatGPT alone has a vast breadth of knowledge that is impossible for a human to keep up with as well as superior skills to a student in any number of fields. I can find evidence that it has an IQ of around 124 [0] which is going to stretch most students (although in fairness the same article also speculates an IQ of 0).

Students can keep ahead of it with training in specific fields and it has a few weaknesses in specific skills but I think someone could make a reasonable claim that ChatGPT has superior general intelligence.
