I'm surprised these models haven't picked this up yet in the training data. Both Claude and ChatGPT missed that one when I posed the question to them last year.

- tingletech 4mo agoWhy would a model know that one washes cars at a car wash? We don't clean our bodies at the body wash or clean the kitchen at the kitchen wash.
- shepardrtc 4mo agoThere's meaning in the term "car wash" that it understands. But I don't suspect anyone has taught it that for 99.9% of people, going to car wash ONLY means that you're going to wash your car and that it should make that implicit assumption. What if you're the car wash owner? Or a maintenance technician? Pretty easy to just walk over there if you're just 50ft away.
- jjtheblunt 4mo agoto your point, when my Aussie friends first mentioned a "car park" to my north american born self, i wondered _momentarily_ what that was, then realized it's sort of a fun name for what i would call a parking lot.
- nl 4mo agoI've never thought of it as a fun term before. We use "park" as "I will park the car" not park as in "amusement park"
- BobbyTables2 4mo agoWhy isn’t the “pantry” called the “food store”?
- justinclift 4mo agoDoes your pantry have a cashier and let you buy stuff there? Because a food store sounds like it does.
- jjtheblunt 4mo agoyeah but syntactically "car park" gets used like a noun phrase, not verb phrase, which was (to your point really) what had me think "huh?" momentarily.
- SequoiaHope 4mo agoEvery model knows what a car wash is.
- purerandomness 4mo agoIf it doesn't, what's the point using it? Trusting it with your workflows, your code?
- nullpoint420 4mo agoOk im supposed to assume that a model doesn’t know cars get washed at a car wash? But then im supposed to give it access to write code in my repositories. Sorry, what are you trying to get at here?
- treis 4mo agoChatGPT still says walk but adds: >The main reasons to drive such a short distance would be if you're bringing the car specifically to be washed, carrying something heavy, or the weather or walking conditions make it impractical. >If your goal is to get your car washed, you'll need the car there—so driving makes sense. If you're just going to talk to someone at the car wash or check it out, walking is probably faster.
