K-1802 · Knowledge knobit · Foundation knowledge, used across activities · Competence: Data modelling

Explains that a hypothesis is a conjecture that needs checking and that one counter-example refutes a general statement, whereas examples do not prove it.

Can AI do this?

AI does this well Most of the tested AI models master this. 4 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.

Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.

What it looks like in practice

Expected result: An explanation of hypothesis and counter-example

How it is assessed: Tells a hypothesis from a proven statement and states what a counter-example proves
