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?

    Officially, you can’t. Unofficially, just have one of the ferrymen tow a boat.

      Yeah that’s the version of the problem that chatgpt itself produced, with no towing etc.

      I just find it funny that they would train on some sneer problem like this, to the point of making their chatbot look even more stupid. A “300 billion dollar” business, reacting to being made fun of by a very small number of people.

        Some insufferable dipshit that gets paid $10,000 bucks a week spent one of those weeks working on this.

            Gonna be really fucked if we finally discover that the people doing the actual work were true believers who didnt even get paid well. And all the money went to altman/infrastructure costs. (I could look in financial statements to figure stuff like this out but erug effort).

      Or swim back. However, the bot itself appears to have ruled out all of these options.
