Screenshot of this question was making the rounds last week. But this article covers testing against all the well-known models out there.
Also includes outtakes on the ‘reasoning’ models.

There are a lot of humans that would fail this as well. Just sayin.
You should consider reading the article before “just sayin.”
They also polled 10,000 people to compare against a human baseline:
The question is based on assumptions. That takes advanced reading skills. I’m surprised it was 71% passing, to be honest. (The humans, that is)
What assumptions do you mean? I’ve seen a few people say that, but I don’t actually understand what they’re referring to. Here’s the text of the question posed in the article:
The question specifically notes they want to wash their car, so that part isn’t left to assumption. Even if you don’t assume an automatic car wash, would you assume they have a 50m hose? Or that you could plausibly walk that far away with something from the car wash to wash your car?
Personally, I’d agree with the assessment of the article, that the only plausible way to get the question “wrong” would be to focus too much on the short distance, missing/forgetting that the purpose of the trip requires you to have the car at the destination. (Not too surprising that 30% of people did lol)
This here is the point most people fail to grasp. The AI was taught by people. And people are wrong a lot of the time. So the AI is more like us than what we think it should be. Right down to it getting the right answer for all the wrong reasons. We should call it human AI. Lol.
Like I said the person above, there is no wrong answer. Its all about assumptions. It is a stupid trick question that no one would ask.
Well I did interview at Microsoft once a long time ago. They did ask some stupid questions… lol
LOL! That is a great answer.
I have a Microsoft story. I know some one who was hired to stop them from continuing an open source project. They gave them a good salary, stock options, and an office with a fully stocked bar. They said do whatever you want, they figured they would get a good developer and kill the open source competition (back in the Ballmer days).
Sadly, given money, no real ambition to create closed source software, they mostly spent their days in their office and basically drank themselves to death.
Microsoft just kills everything it touches.
Those humans used AI to answer the question. /j
What is the wrong answer though? It is a stupid question. I would look at you sideways if you asked me this, because the obvious answer is “walk silly, the car is already at the car wash”. Otherwise why would you ask it?
Which is telling because when asked to review the answer, the AI’s that I have seen said, you asked me how you were going to get to the car wash. Assumption the car was already there.
Why would the car already be at the car wash if you ask it wether or not you should drive there?
This is why it’s a bad question to test a computer with.
Why wouldn’t it be? How often have you thought, I wonder if I should drive my car to the carwash, maybe I should ask someone?
That’s the thing: it is a nonsensical question, the only sense of it is if YOU need to get where the carwash and car is because you must be asking about something else.
I am not saying AI is making any sense, it cant. But if you follow the weights and statistics towards the solution for this question, it is about something else other than driving the car to the car wash, because nothing in the training would have ever spelled that out.
Yeah I straight up misread the question, so I would have gotten it wrong.
