Comment Re:Normal. On Venus. (Score 1) 102

You'll rightly be modded Troll soon enough, but for the record: research has shown no significant difference in the average intelligence of male and female human beings.

However, there is some evidence that genders are better on average at certain kinds of tasks: females on average are better at verbal and memory-intensive tasks, whereas makes on average are stronger with spatial and mathematical reasoning. But of course, the two populations overlap significantly: we have plenty of outstanding female scientists and male lawyers, for example.

Or is it 49%? If 100 is adjusted to be average across a target population, there's going to be a lot of people right on the mark... And it's not linear distribution, so there's more people scored 100 than there are 148 or 71... I should ask ChatGPT... ChatGPT said that 50% are above 100, 50% are below 100. Yeah, we're screwed.

And ChatGPT is not necessarily correct here. Neither was George Carlin when he said:

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

ChatGPT and Carlin are confusing mean with median. The latter divides a population 50-50, the former not necessarily so.

That would indeed be an interesting study.

Religions generally accept wisdom from sacred texts. (Yes, I know there are exceptions.) So one would presume that those who are ready to accept information on the authority of sacred texts would accept it from an AI that is perceived as an authority.

On the other hand, those same religious people could recognize that AI is distinct from their religious texts, and apply a different standard to it.
