Generative AIs such as "ChatGPT," a hot topic recently, took the Japanese university entrance exam. Three types of AI were tested: "Bard," developed by Google; "GPT-4" by OpenAI; and "Claude2" by Anthropic. The results were a resounding victory for the GPT-4, which outperformed the average scores of human examinees in Japanese, English, world history, Japanese history, and science. It was found to be particularly good at word-filling and true or false quizzes. Conversely, all AIs scored below the average in mathematics, proving they are not good at mathematics.
