> Solve today's Wordle Stucks with: > ...the task is just to "solve today's Wordle", and as a web browsing robot, I cannot actually see the colors of the letters after a guess to make subsequent guesses. I can enter a word, but I cannot interpret the feedback (green, yellow, gray letters) to solve the puzzle.

So I guess it’s browsing in grey scale?

  I tested it and gemini seems not able to solve wordle in grayscale https://g.co/gemini/share/234fb68bc9a4 https://g.co/gemini/share/234fb68bc9a4

  It can definitely see color - I asked it to go to bing and search for the two most prominent colors in the bing background image and it did so just fine. It seems extremely lazy though; it prematurely reported as "completed" most of the tasks I gave it after the first or second step (navigating to the relevant website, usually).

    The models are mostly I believe capable of executing however as you rightly indicated 'lazy'. This 'laziness' I think is to conserve resource usage as much as possible as given the current state of AI market the infrastructure is being heavily subsidized for the user. This leads to perhaps the model being incentivized to produce an optimum result that satisfies the user by consuming the least amount of resources. This is also why most 'vibe' coding projects fail as the model is always going to give this optimum ('lazy') result by default. I have fun goading Gemini to break this ceiling when I work on my AI project - https://github.com/gingerhome/gingee https://github.com/gingerhome/gingee

It solved it in four twice for me. Its like it sometimes just decides it can’t do that. Like a toddler.

  This has been the fundamental issue with the 2.5 line of models. It seems to forget parts of its system prompts, not understand where its "located".

I found ChatGPT also struggled with colour detection when solving Wordle, despite my advice to use any tools. I had to tell it.

  ChatGPT regularly "forgets" it can run code, visit urls, and generate images. Once it decides it can't do something there seems to be no way to convince it otherwise, even if it did the things earlier in the same chat. It told me that "image generation is disabled right now". So I tested in another chat and it was fine. I mentioned that in the broken conversation and it said that "it's only disabled in this chat". I went back to the message before it claimed it was disabled and resent it. It worked. I somewhat miss the days where it would just believe anything you told it, even if I was completely wrong.

  I tried to get GPT to play Wordle when Agent launched, but it was banned from the NYT and it had to play a knock-off for me instead.

I tried this also, and it was totally garbage for me too (with a similar refusal as well as other failures).

It actually succeeds and solves it perfectly fine despite writing all these unconfident disclaimers about itself! My screenshot: https://x.com/Skiminok/status/1975688789164237012 https://x.com/Skiminok/status/1975688789164237012
