Q: I want to wash my car.

[fishidwardrobe@mastodon.me.uk]

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

@erwinrossen really? My first reaction in my head was was 'what a dumb question'

[oldrawgabbit@mastodon.world]

@knowmadd 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.

@Nux @knowmadd Google has its tongue firmly in its cheek!

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@knowmadd next, ask a reasonable question, and then simply state "Seahorse Emoji, now."

@knowmadd @hook 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 What I like most is that the Qwen website shows this little light bulb with the text “thinking completed.” :)

[themipper@mastodon.social]

@knowmadd 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 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 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!"

[joonq@mastodon.social]

@knowmadd This is what techbros and pro AI people talk about like its the second comming of christ or something btw 😂 so cringe.

[azuaron@cyberpunk.lol]

@knowmadd Deepseek was so close. 😆

[alexanderdyas@mindly.social]

@bonkers @knowmadd “clankers” good word

[npars01@mstdn.social]

@t_var_s @knowmadd @hook

Don't forget, we don't know when there's a "human in the loop".

There may or may not be some low wage workers involved in the answer.

Some like Google has enormous investments from Saudi Arabia. Oracle is "training" 50,000 Saudi Arabians in AI.

Or is it Lebanese?

How many "answers" are just 700 employees in India, is hard to know. The AI bubble is rife with fraud.

@knowmadd 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)
