They train on sneer-problems now:
Here’s the “ferry‑shuttle” strategy, exactly analogous to the classic two‑ferryman/many‑boats puzzle, but with planes and pilots
And lo and behold, singularity - it can solve variants that no human can solve:

Two ferrymen and three boats are on the left bank of a river. Each boat holds exactly one man. How can they get both men and all three boats to the right bank?
In this sentence, the bot appears to sort of “get” it (not entirely, though, the wording is weird). However, from there, it definitely goes downhill…
The downhill is honestly glorious because it seems so proud of itself when the real magic is that the boatmen can magically teleport back to the right bank under certain arcane circumstances.
Somehow, the “smug” tone really rubs me the wrong way. It is of great comedic value here, but it always reminds me of that one person who is consistently wrong yet is somehow the boss’s or the teacher’s favorite.
