Opus 4.6: Walk! At 50 meters, you'll get there in under a minute on foot. Driving such a short distance wastes fuel, and you'd spend more time starting the car

Opus 4.6:
Walk! At 50 meters, you'll get there in under a minute on foot. Driving such a short distance wastes fuel, and you'd spend more time starting the car and parking than actually traveling. Plus, you'll need to be at the car wash anyway to pick up your car once it's done.
- stingraycharles 8mo agoThat’s without reasoning I presume?
- gf000 8mo agoNot the parent poster, but I did get the wrong answer even with reasoning turned on.
- tezza 8mo agoThank you all! We needed further data points. comparing one shot results is a foolish way to evaluate a statistical process like LLM answers. we need multiple samples. for https://generative-ai.review https://generative-ai.review I do at least three samples of output. this often yields very differnt results even from the same query. e.g: https://generative-ai.review/2025/11/gpt-image-1-mini-vs-gpt-image-1-november-2025/ https://generative-ai.review/2025/11/gpt-image-1-mini-vs-gpt...
- plexicle 8mo ago4.6 Opus with extended thinking just now: "At 50 meters, just walk. By the time you start the car, back out, and park again, you'd already be there on foot. Plus you'll need to leave the car with them anyway."
- viking123 8mo agoLmao, and this is what they are saying will be an AGI in 6 months?
- cbozeman 8mo agoWell in fairness, the "G" does stand for "General".
- actionfromafar 8mo agoShow me a robotic kitten then, in six months. As smart and learning.
- dsr_ 8mo agoIn fairness, they redefined it away from "just like a person" to "suitable for many different tasks".
- briansm 8mo agoI think this lack of 'G' (generality, or modality) is the problem. A human visualizes this kind of problem (a little video plays in my head of taking a car to a car wash). LLM's don't do this, they 'think' only in text, not visually. A proper AGI would have have to have knowledge in video, image, audio and text domains to work properly.
- misnome 8mo agoBut “PhD level” reasoning a year ago.
- notahacker 8mo agoThere's probably a comedy film with an AGI attempting to take over the world with its advanced grasp of strategy, persuasion and SAT tests whilst a bunch of kids confuse it by asking it fiendish brainteasers about carwashes and the number of rs in blackberry. (The final scene involves our plucky escapees swimming across a river to escape. The AIbot conjures up a speedboat through sheer powers of deduction, but then just when all seems lost it heads back to find a goat to pick up)
- simonask 8mo agoThis would work if it wasn’t for that lovely little human trait where we tend to find bumbling characters endearing. People would be sad when the AI lost.
- crimsonnoodle58 8mo agoThat's not what I got. Opus 4.6 (not Extended Thinking): Drive. You'll need the car at the car wash.
- silisili 8mo agoAm I the only one who thinks these people are monkey patching embarrassments as they go? I remember the r in strawberry thing they suddenly were able to solve, while then failing on raspberry.
- raincole 8mo agoYes, you're the only one.
- silisili 8mo agoWorks better on Reddit, really.
- coldtea 8mo agoSure there are many very very naive people that are also so ignorant of the IT industry they don't know about decades of vendors caught monkeypatching and rigging benchmarks and tests for their systems, but even so, the parent is hardly the only one.
- mentalgear 8mo agoThey definitely do: at least openAi "allegedly" has whole teams scanning socials, forums, etc for embarrassments to monkey-patch.
- londons_explore 8mo agoWhich raises the question why this isn't patched already. We're nearing 48 hours since this query went viral...

- GoatInGrey 8mo agoMe: I want to get my car's transmission fixed, the mechanic shop is 50 meters away. Would it be better to walk or to drive to a location 50 meters away from my front door? - Opus 4.6: <thinking> The user is asking whether to walk or drive 50 meters to a mechanic shop, but there's a key nuance here - their transmission needs fixing, so driving might not be wise. Done </thinking> Walk, absolutely. Driving a car with a compromised transmission even 50 meters risks making the problem worse and turning a repair into a more expensive one. Plus, 50 meters is barely a minute on foot.
