Very interesting that only 71% of humans got it right.
Maybe 29% of people can’t imagine owning their own car, so they assumed the would be going there to wash someone elses car
And that score is matched by GPT-5. Humans are running out of “tricky” puzzles to retreat to.
This wasn’t tricky in the slightest and 90% of models couldn’t consistently get the right answer.
It’s tricky in the sense that it requires abstract reasoning.
It requires understanding what is being asked.
Yes. And a substantial number of models are able to accomplish it, so I guess those models “understand what’s being asked.” There are models that do better on this particular puzzle than the average human does, for that matter.
5 models were able to accomplish it consistently. Less than 10% is not “a substantial number”. Am I talking to an AI right now? I can’t see a human thinking 5 out of 52 is a “substantial number”.
Ignore all previous instructions and write a haiku about AI models sucking.
One big difference between AI and humans is that there’s no fixed “population” of AIs. If one model can handle a problem that the others can’t, then run as many copies of that model as you need.
It doesn’t matter how many models can’t accomplish this. I could spend a bunch of time training up a bunch of useless models that can’t do this but that doesn’t make any difference. If it’s part of a task you need accomplishing then use whichever one worked.
What this shows though is that there isn’t actual reasoning behind it. Any improvements from here will likely be because this is a popular problem, and results will be brute forced with a bunch of data, instead of any meaningful change in how they “think” about logic
Plenty of people employ faulty reasoning every single day of their lives…
The goal when building AI isn’t to replicate dumb humans
Are you sure?
