Wouldn't the actual human answer be to put the flat items at the bottom of the stack, then just put all the non-flat items on top?
GPT4's answer does show spacial reasoning and creativity, but it's still an overly complicated solution.
I wonder though how the exact answer looked, i.e. if it did step-by-step reasoning or if it generated the answer first and then rationalized an explanation post-hoc.
It would be sort of funny if it started with "Let's put the eggs first" based on a random token sampling of the word "eggs" and then had to come up with a contrieved solution how to actually build a stack with the eggs at the bottom...
- didgeoridoo 3y agoMaybe if the question specified dimensions of each object, and it was clear that the 3x3 grid of eggs would take up the entire flat surface of either book or laptop, that would be a better test. That’s the only case I can think of where you’d need to put anything on top of the eggs…
- rowanG077 3y agoPutting an egg on a flat surface is not stable without anything on top of it, it can easily roll in any direction at the slightest disturbance. Whereas with a bit of pressure from above the egg will be locked in place. It's interesting that GPT 4 performs better then some humans here.

- bamboozled 3y agoI actually just did a variation of experiment for fun after reading your comment... On a flat surface, the eggs were steady with nothing on top of them too, even when bumping the table quite hard... Conclusion: reality is more complicated :)
- xg15 3y agoHa! Good point there...
