"how will I wash the car once I've arrived if I choose to walk?" I'll leave you all to try this out and see the results. One output was "you got me", another was "wash the car as it's already there" after telling me to walk. The others double down in some interesting ways. #llm #ai

@knowmadd@mastodon.world @MissGayle@urbanists.social I think you should walk to the carwash, dismantle it, walk back and rebuild it around your car. When tested everything, make sure your permits are okay, etc, then start the washing.

@knowmadd@mastodon.world Did you also do a survey how many people would be tricked by this question? I, for one, admit am one, because my initial reaction to your post was: what's wrong with that answer?

@knowmadd@mastodon.world Google's gets it right, but then goes on to ramble about stuff. Someone needs to instruct these things not to analyse or "break this down" so much. All in all, as expected, disappointing.

@knowmadd@mastodon.world if you walk, you are, in fact, carrying heavy equipment: the car. :D

@knowmadd@mastodon.world This is a very sad reflection on the minds of people today, the inability to read a question fully, the wrong standards, the assumptions made, everything.

@knowmadd@mastodon.world @hook@toot.si Gemini says you have to take the car. Maybe it's somehow connected to how it scores better on Vendibench? It has a better baseline for common sense.

@knowmadd@mastodon.world yeah, LLMs will replace us all ... they are so much better at {looking frantically through my notes} ... providing answers with high confidence that are utter nonsense.

@knowmadd@mastodon.world I tried to reproduce the result with Gemini and ChatGPT. Either the AI has learned something new, or there is another reason for this. Neither fell for the trick question and even responded with irony in some cases.

@knowmadd@mastodon.world i got this : "Verdict: Walking is the best choice here—it’s quick, eco-friendly, and practical for such a short distance. Plus, you’ll avoid driving a dirty car to the car wash!"

@djuber@fosstodon.org 2026-02-15 14:25
@knowmadd@mastodon.world ignoring the problems of washing a car, I was perplexed that it would say 50m distance is 30 to 40 steps? My strides are nowhere close to 1.2m, maybe half that, and I'm a full grown person.

@knowmadd@mastodon.world So, a car isn't "heavy equipment." 🤔
-
@josh0@babka.social 2026-02-15 14:35
@knowmadd@mastodon.world I’d say it’s right on the nose! The LLM specifically says that a special case is if you have heavy equipment to carry, and your car is certainly heavy equipment that you’d need to carry if you don’t drive it there!

@dada87@social.cologne 2026-02-15 14:39
@knowmadd@mastodon.world I definitely want to see the list of things you should take with you! Like "a bathing suit" or "a banana"? 🤔

@ramblingsteve@floss.social 2026-02-15 15:02
@knowmadd@mastodon.world gpt-oss also recommends walking. I asked if I should buy a 50m hosepipe to take with me and it rightly reminded me: "No. A 50m hosepipe is excessive for washing a car 50m from your house — you don’t need to stretch it that far. A 25m hose is sufficient and more manageable." Can't argue with 120bn in logic. 🤡💦

@knowmadd@mastodon.world i guess you have some heavy equipment to carry, but c'mon, it's only 50m and you're young!

@valhalla@social.gl-como.it 2026-02-15 19:56
@knowmadd@mastodon.world to be fair one of the answers mentioned using the car if you have to carry heavy equipment, and I'd say that a car *is* heavy and it probably counts as equipment :D although it has wheels, so maybe it could be pushed :D (can you even push a modern car? my mental model for these things is probably stuck in the last century)

@leadegroot@bne.social 2026-02-16 05:35
@knowmadd@mastodon.world well in their defence (I'm doing what?) a good chunk of people would say the same thing. Hopefully only for a moment though, before they went 'wait a second!" :)

@knowmadd@mastodon.world It's interesting to see different "levels" of Gemini respond in different ways.

@knowmadd@mastodon.world DeepSeek : "You should drive the car to the car wash because the car needs to be at the location to be washed. Walking would leave the car at home, so you wouldn't be able to wash it." (In its working out it discussed environmental issues but also pointed out they were irrelevant as the car needs to be present )
