ChatGPT fails sister's age question
by Peter Yang on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/petergyang/status/1607443647859154946
- User: When I was 6 my sister was half my age. Now I'm 70 how old is my sister?
- ChatGPT: If you are 70 years old and your sister was half your age when you were 6, then your sister was 6 years old, <<6/2=3>>3 years old when you were 6. If your sister was 3 years old when you were 6 and you are now 70, then your sister is now 3 + 70 = <<3+70=73>>73 years old. So your sister is 73 years old.
- Correct answer: 67

Tried playing #chatGPT in #chess and it is definitely not designed for this lmao. It kind of has the idea of how pieces move, but forgets the board state.
I took it's knight the next turn using exf6, then the pawn at d6 tried to take my pawn at e5, even though it'd moved.
