I got arthur with Gemini too!

I bet it's tricky in practice - I bet different genres of stories would come up with different names. 

But it feels funny how consistently a lot of these models pick up the same set of names.  

You are fully correct though that it is still an issue in general.

Just reminded me of a simple one that I saw recently. 

"I have a cup, except the bottom is open, and the top is closed off. What should I do?"

Actually Copilot answers this correctly now, that I can just turn it around. Which it didn't like a month ago.  

Claude is giving me instructions on how to seal the bottom and open the top. 

To make it functional, you'd need to open the top by:

Drilling or cutting an opening — depending on the material, you could drill a hole or cut an opening large enough to drink from or pour through
Removing a lid or cap — if the top has a removable piece, just take it off
Chipping or breaking off the sealed portion — if it's glued or fused shut, you might need to carefully break away the sealed section
Filing or sanding — smooth down any rough edges after opening it
So basically, you'd need to fix both ends:

Open the top so you can access the inside
Seal or plug the bottom so it holds liquid

Copilot either doesn't "know" (as if an LLM knows things) or is actively lying about what it knows.  


It has on several instances talked about stuff that is only in other tabs. It clearly has information on content, even without explicitly giving it that information.

Yet, when I was asking, it insisted that it only had access to information I gave it. 

Very unsettling.

Oh I hate stuff like that. The gaslighting is crazy.

Old post of me complaining about it: https://vizioneck.com/forum/index.php?msg=302631

The llms do not know anything. It's hallucinations all the way down, they just get those hallucinations correct most of the time.

Would be great if they made a model that separated logic from facts. So that it had very little internal information and had an actual memory component.
