And a calculator outperforms LLMs at multiplication and division...

I'm sorry but as an MLE this is not a remotely useful article, and does not belong on the front page.

It's comparing a fine-tuned CNN to general purpose models on a tiny dataset.

This doesn't seem that surprising to me? One is tasked with a simple very narrow task. The other has a corpus including billions of other images and pieces of information. It'd seem to me that instinctively one would outperform the other, regardless of age.
