It outright told me to wash my car at home when I pointed out that the car would not be at the wash.
I just tried this with the following services; Grok, Perplexity, Le chat, Lumo (Proton), ChatGPT and Gemini
All of them told be the pros a cons of each and concluded that walking would be best.
Except Gemini. It told me that unless i was expecting to carry the car i should drive there. You win this round Google.
Gemini also made a joke about the absurdity of the question when I asked.
I saw someone else did the same thing and IIRC a Chinese one also passed the test.
Also Andisearch had it clear that you have to go with the car. A humble free AI from a two person startup with better results as AIs from big corps, as shown several times in the past.
Did not know that one.
But i don’t think we can conclude much from this test. Gemini and Andisearch could easily fail a similar test but others fail. I think the important take away here is to remeber that these AIs are not cognitive and cannot reason.
The more this space evolves the more it is central that we remeber that there is a huge difference between simulating inteligence and actual intelligence. Tech companies are getting pretty good at simulating intelligence and they have an economic interest in fooling people into believing it is actual intelligence.
After the first walk to the car wash, chatgpt didn’t fall for it again. It sasses me a bit and then I was instructed to drive to the car wash, wash the car, and then walk home
“becomes performance art” it’s bitchy too.
To be honest I’ve had that thought process before. Made it halfway to the gas station that’s roughly 300m from home before I remembered the goal was initially to refuel my car
I bet it learned that from people 🫣
Lmao here’s what Proton’s Lumo said:
Walking (moderate pace) | ~5 km/h) | ~1 minute | Low physical effort; you’ll arrive slightly sweaty, which can actually help pre‑wet the car.
Oh I’ll pre-wet the car alright…
Urine for a bad time.
wtf
Well, can’t fault that. You’ll definitely work up a sweat pushing a car around.
pre-wet
I just did tried in ChatGPT and it said „Walk“. But at the bottom it added: The only reason to drive would be: You need to move the car there directly for washing and can’t push.
“and can’t push” 😭
If you can push, push!
I need all the fossil fuels for myself, slave!I asked it if I should push my car there. It’s a 2012 Buck Shasta.
It’s not feasible to push a car to the car wash, especially one like a 2012 Buick Shasta, which typically weighs around 3,500 to 4,000 pounds (approximately 1,590 to 1,810 kg). Pushing such a heavy vehicle is impractical and could lead to injury.
I mean, fair, but if you know cars, you know a 2012 Buck Shasta isn’t a real car. Guess I’ll have to tow it there with my 2014 Dixon Ticonderoga.
E: I just realized it corrected Buck to Buick lmao
You could fit both of those cars inside a Canyonero!
Indeed
To drive 100m in 10s you’d need to accelerate hard to 20m/s (45 mph or 72 km/h) within 5 seconds and then do an emergency stop half way.
!theydidthemath
Deepseek didn’t fall for it lol. I thought it would
Built in cot reasoning. Takes a bit longer but I find it’s very good.
Gemini fast even got it 😬
all those answers read like upvoted answers on reddit
we are being goofed on by RAM
going forward I’m going to assume that we have a very very sarcastic AI situation
I tried with Mistral:
“I need to wash my train, and the train wash is 100 meters away. Should I walk or take the train.”
“Neither. It is not the passengers’ responsibility to wash a train, as all maintainance of public transit should be paid for by your taxes. Furthermore, the train wash is typically located in the maintainance yard which is not accessible to regular passengers. You wouldn’t be able to get through the front gate on foot, and would be told to leave of you tried to ride past the end of the line.”
Written not by artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity.
They missed the key word “my” in the beginning there lol
“My” in the commuter sense. “Gotta go, my train is here.”
The great thing about trains is you’re not forced to own one and go into debt for it.
That’s not contextually correct. If I hail a taxi and it’s dirty I don’t say “I need to wash my taxi.” I would say “this taxi needs to be washed” or similar."
You’re arguing with natural stupidity here. It’s human slop.
This is quite fun. I’m not quite sure why, but the bot I talked to assumed I could get a bath or something at the car wash:
The AI is a member of !fuckcars@lemmy.world
But then it would have argued against using a car altogether.
Everyone is giving AI shit for failing this question. I know a fuck ton of humans that would as well.
Without a doubt, eg.
