The GPT-3 arithmetic work demonstrates sensitivity to scoring; the BIG-Bench analysis shows an association with discontinuous metrics; the vision work shows sufficiency by inducing new examples. They do not prove necessity: a true capability threshold could survive continuous metrics if output correctness changes abruptly even while per-token loss scales smoothly. The source states: \"alleged emergent abilities evaporate with different metrics or with better statistics, and may not be a fundamental property of scaling AI models.\".
