Hermansson logged in to Google and began looking up results for the IQs of different nations. When he typed in “Pakistan IQ,” rather than getting a typical list of links, Hermansson was presented with Google’s AI-powered Overviews tool, which, confusingly to him, was on by default. It gave him a definitive answer of 80.
When he typed in “Sierra Leone IQ,” Google’s AI tool was even more specific: 45.07. The result for “Kenya IQ” was equally exact: 75.2.
Hmm, these numbers seem very low. I wonder how these scores were determined.
so the short answer is the model most likely made the numbers up
Right crime, wrong perp. The Google overview “correctly” sourced the IQ scores from one of Arthur Jensen’s “studies” where he reports the IQ of every country in the world and fully makes up numbers for over a third of them
