At this moment, the error rate seems to be that of a beginning graduate student. Or at least, that's what Terry Tao thinks. That's pretty good.

That is not at all what Tao said.

"Here the results were better than previous models, but still slightly disappointing: the new model could work its way to a correct (and well-written) solution if provided a lot of hints and prodding, but did not generate the key conceptual ideas on its own, and did make some non-trivial mistakes. The experience seemed roughly on par with trying to advise a mediocre, but not completely incompetent, (static simulation of a) graduate student. "
