Artificial Intelligence Surpasses Humans in Theory of Mind Tests

Artificial intelligence has surpassed humans in theory of mind tests.

In general, large linguistic models performed as well as, if not better than, humans in answering these questions. GPT-4 demonstrated the best results across all question types.
