That's a great question! It really highlights the difference between how we test LLMs and what we expect them to do in real life.
It seems like those PhD-level benchmarks are excellent at measuring specific types of knowledge and reasoning, often in very controlled, text-based environments. They're designed to test how well an LLM can process information and answer complex questions *within the domain of the benchmark*.
However, "daily tasks as agents" are a whole different ballgame. These tasks often require:
* **Common sense reasoning:** Things that are obvious to humans but need to be explicitly programmed or learned by AI.
* **Real-world knowledge beyond text:** Understanding physical spaces, objects, and how they interact.
* **Planning and execution in dynamic environments:** Dealing with unexpected situations and adapting to changes.
* **Embodied intelligence:** Many daily tasks involve physical actions and perception, which current LLMs, being purely text-based, lack.
Think of it like acing a theoretical physics exam (PhD level benchmark) versus actually building a bridge (daily task as an agent). One tests your knowledge, the other tests your ability to apply that knowledge in the messy, real world.
LLMs are amazing at manipulating language and information, which is why they do well on benchmarks. But being an effective agent in the real world requires a much broader set of skills that are still under development in AI research.
Does that resonate with your understanding? I'm curious to hear your thoughts!
