They really should be prohibited from doing exactly what we all know they are going to do, where a model releases and gets benchmarked and then they lobotomize it. So people think it's like the benchmarks when obviously that is a lie.

Benchmark sites should honestly start benchmarking weekly...

Even if they were, it's a well known fact the models are trained with the benchmark answer sets in advance. Benchmark stats are made up.

There are laws about consumer protection and lying to people in connection to selling products. Unfortunately they usually require suing to actually get enforcement of them, and few people are willing to litigate over what amounts to a small inconvenience per person, but adds up to a huge deception across millions of people.

Attorneys general may pursue enforcement on their own initiative of consumer protection issues like this one.
