Screenshot of this question was making the rounds last week. But this article covers testing against all the well-known models out there.

Also includes outtakes on the 'reasoning' models.

You are missing the point. Any reasonable person would wonder why you asking a stupid question.

Which is why when asked, the AI said of course the car is there, you. Must be asking either a trick question or for another reason.

It could be that. or it could be that the AI gives the illusion of reasoning and this is an example of the illusion breaking. But no it was probably that it knew it was a trick question and decided to answer wrongly because it is very very smart. Yeah.

Careful, dude might think you’re being serious.

What is the wrong answer here? You asked how to get to the car wash. Where the hell do you think the car would be? It isn't getting washed if it isn't there.

I know AI is not really AI. I know how llms work, hell I know how to train them.

But this kind of question makes no sense, so you get back an answer that follows the weights and answers as if there was some sense to it.

I repeat for those in the back, when would you ever ask this question? The answer is never.

Its a dumb, stupid question. There are probably thousands of others questions to demonstrate "wrong answers", this isn't one of them.

Sorry, are you fucking trolling me? I'm the one who made the point you replied to. How the fuck am I missing my own point?

Oops doing Lemmy while distracted is never a good plan. Sorry.
