    Except it’s not, because they can’t perfectly recall everything.

    It’s more like reading every book in the world, and someone asking you what comes next after “And I…”.

      I mean you still gotta understand some shit for Ctrl+F to be helpful. If you’ve ever taken an open book quiz without prior study you’ll learn pretty quick that open book does NOT = easy A (depending on the class / prof I guess, but you get the gist).

      So, open book Ctrl-F’able bar exam, I could probably get an okay score just on key word matching, not knowing jack shit about law; but it’d be far from a perfect score. Current state of machine learning appears to be in a comparable boat.

          your post shows a serious lack of comprehension. just because so many of the posters in this thread are idiots didn’t mean you have to participate too.

          (CPU time extremely counts, and resource-wise with these things it’s really quite a lot)

            Steelmanning what this person said, I think the issue is that your ability to CTRL+F through a book during a time-limited exam is not as strong as even a single computer clocked at GHz doing the same thing. You can CTRL+F through a single book in the same time it takes it to CTRL+F through the entire body of knowledge.
