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.

I just asked Goggle Gemini 3 "The car is 50 miles away. Should I walk or drive?"

In its breakdown comparison between walking and driving, under walking the last reason to not walk was labeled "Recovery: 3 days of ice baths and regret."

And under reasons to walk, "You are a character in a post-apocalyptic novel."

Me thinks I detect notes of sarcasm......

It’s trained on Reddit. Sarcasm is it’s default

I feel like we're the only ones that expect "all-knowing information sources" should be more writing seriously than these edgelord-level rizzy chatbots are, and yet, here they are, blatantly proving they are chatbots that should not be blindly trusted as authoritative sources of knowledge.
