      The point isn’t that some models are better than others. The point is that yet again it’s an example that LLMs are not thinking machines and you can’t trust anything from them and people are burning the world to run a glorified auto complete.

          Sure, fine, some get this right, and what else are they getting wrong? Something more serious and harder to spot?

            I agree that we should never treat these things as oracles. But how often they’re right/wrong does matter.

              how often they’re right/wrong does matter.

              That’s the wildest take I’ve heard on the question answering machine.

                Most people get their info from forums and blog posts. Unless you limit yourself to nothing but peer reviewed papers, you probably do some kind of calculation on the legitimacy of whatever source you are perusing and verify it further if it’s something important.

    Dang. I haven’t always been able replicate these, but every model I’ve tried provides increasing dumb answers to this.

    (These are semi-ethically sourced from small non-web non-data-center models, stolen, in turn, from the original thieves who created them from stolen data.)

    So, I’d recommend taking the walk. It’s a great opportunity to stretch your legs and clear your mind before or after washing your car!

    Sure, why not both? Take a leisurely stroll to the carwash, and once you reach it, jump into the driver’s seat for some washing fun! It’ll be like a little adventure where you get to combine two activities into one. 😉

    Both walking and driving would be great options, depending on your personal preferences and circumstances.

    I mean the person asking the question doesn’t quite have it all there.

    If asked a question like that, I would give a similar answer. There’s no pointing out to the person how stupid of a question it is.
