Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

Bluewing@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

I just asked Goggle Gemini 3 “The car is 50 miles away. Should I walk or drive?”

In its breakdown comparison between walking and driving, under walking the last reason to not walk was labeled “Recovery: 3 days of ice baths and regret.”

And under reasons to walk, “You are a character in a post-apocalyptic novel.”

Me thinks I detect notes of sarcasm…

It’s trained on Reddit. Sarcasm is it’s default

    It’s so obvious I didn’t even need to be British to understand you are being totally serious.

Gemini 3 said that this was a “great logic puzzle” and then said that if my goal is to wash the car, then I need to drive there.

in google AI mode, “With the meme popularity of the question “I need to wash my car. The car wash is 50m away. Should I walk or drive?” what is the answer?”, it does get it perfect, and succinct explanation of why AI can get fixated on 50m.

I feel like we’re the only ones that expect “all-knowing information sources” should be more writing seriously than these edgelord-level rizzy chatbots are, and yet, here they are, blatantly proving they are chatbots that should not be blindly trusted as authoritative sources of knowledge.
