The ARC dataset deliberately avoids interpolative structure and provides only few examples, making it unsuitable for deep learning; many people have tried deep learning and GPT-3 on ARC with no success, but program synthesis is very effective on ARC.

Evidence Quote

lots of people have tried using deep learning on ARC, uh including using very large pre-trained models like GPT-3... no one has uh managed to achieve anything with it because ARC problems are not interpolative in nature.
