Finally, an AI image generation model that can show a wine glass that is more than half full! The new #openai imagegen. No luck on getting a watch face that doesn't show 10:10 though...

@AmazonHelp My Amazon account has been blocked (I am travelling) but I can't contact help to unblock it because I need to log in, which I can't do... Any suggestions?

Crazy @amazon service glitch. I try to log in to purchase. They send me an email OTP but then tell me my account is blocked and to contact customer service. But that requires me to log in, which I can't! Perfect catch 22 situation :) Did no one at Amazon think this through?

The new OpenAI o1-preview model also can't solve my "meta-brainteaser", though it gets much closer. It still gets its feet tangled in key subtleties, but it now feels like we are not far from a model being able to solve it...

I test new AI capabilities on my "meta-brainteaser". As of today none of GPT-4, Claude 3 and Gemini Advanced and Gemini 1.5 Pro can solve it... Here it is: Eve, a mathematician, is visiting her friends Alice and Bob who she hasn't seen for many years. Both Alice and Bob...

@Arfness Interesting. What is the precise puzzle statement for this modification?

@cosmo_bruce Now try with a simplified question. A man, a goat, a cabbage and a rowboat with a weight restriction. Claude falls over like every other LLM.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet just correctly solved the simple brain-teaser that has stumped all previous LLMs: "If Alice has N brothers and M sisters how many sisters does Alice's brother have?" [Answer: "In total, Alice's brother has 1 + M sisters."]

@Arfness Yes... Changing "wolf-->lion", "goat-->sheep", "cabbage --> grass" Claude says "This is a classic river-crossing puzzle." and solves it. The problem is that such problems are well-represented in the training data...

If I ask Gemini if it rhymes it replies: No, the poem does not rhyme. The words at the end of each line do not have matching sounds. For example, "ground" and "sound" do not rhyme. OK then.

A small yet significant step forward for LLMs: ChatGPT-4o and Claude 3.5 can now write poems that DON'T rhyme when asked not to. GPT-4 and Gemini still insist on rhyming... E.g. Gemini: Footsteps echo on ancient ground, Time's steady rhythm, a constant sound.
