This is what I got.

The goat might eat the boat...

Screenshot of a conversation involving ChatGPT. ChatGPT35: Of course! I'd be happy to help you solve a puzzle. What type of puzzle is it? Me: a man and a goat are on one side of the river. they have a boat. how can they go across? Chat GPT: To solve this classic puzzle, here's what they can do: 1. The man takes the boat across the river, leaving the goat on the original side. 2. The man then returns with the boat to the original side of the river. 3. Next, he takes the goat across the river. 4. He leaves the goat on the opposite side but takes the boat back to the original side. 5. Finally, he takes the boat across the river again to reunite with the goat on the other side. And there you have it! Both the man and the goat have safely crossed the river. Me: why don't they just go together in the boat for one journey? ChatGPT: That's a great question! In this puzzle, if the man takes the goat across the river first while they're both in the boat, there's a risk that the goat might eat the man's belongings or even the boat while they're on the other side. So, to avoid any mishaps, the solution involves a series of trips where the man ensures the safety of both himself and the goat while crossing the river.

@starkraving666 @devopscats i just tried it and got the same thing, but the guy and the goat ended up on opposite sides of the river? when i asked about it, it basically repeats itself and says you sure there's not a wolf or some cabbage?

I apologize for the oversight. Let's reconsider the puzzle. Here is a coherent sequence of steps to ensure both the man and the goat end up on the other side of the river together: 1. The man takes the goat across the river. 2. The man leaves the goat on the far side and returns alone to the original side. 3. Both the man and the goat are now on the same side again. Since this is incorrect, I misunderstood the problem initially. Please provide more context if there are other objects (like a wolf or cabbage) that typically come with such puzzles. Otherwise, the steps seem straightforward for just the man and the goat.

@devopscats@toot.cat tried that with google gemini, it somehow managed to clone a goat ("the man leaves the goat behind and crosses the river for the last time, reuniting with the goat") โ€‹:neocat_laugh:โ€‹

Q: A man and a goat are on one side of the river. They have a boat. How can they go across? A: This sounds like a classic river crossing puzzle! Here's how the man and the goat can get across the river safely: 1. Man takes the goat across the river. The boat can only hold the man and one other thing, so the man takes the goat across first. 2. Man returns alone. He leaves the goat on the other side and goes back by himself. 3. Man takes something back (not the goat). Here, it doesn't matter if he takes something across or brings something back as long as it's not the goat. He could bring back a rock or some supplies, for example. This step ensures the man isn't alone with the goat on his return trip. 4. Man takes the goat across. Now that something else is with the goat, it's safe to bring the goat back to the starting side. 5. Man takes himself across. Finally, the man leaves the goat behind and crosses the river for the last time, reuniting with both the goat and his original belongings. By following these steps, the man ensures the goat is never left alone with something it can harm, and they both successfully reach the other side of the river.

@arina @devopscats we don't have any idea how a human mind constructs concepts. Let alone any particular human mind.

If we give it a few different sentences about goats there will be similar vectors in the different computation. What's more, we can intervene, changing the goat vectors to look more like cat vectors and the output will be cat-related. Sentences about goats eating socks will become about cats eating mice, even though we provided it nothing about mice, because it has encoded in it the more likely relationship.

@quantumg @arina @devopscats this model is trained on more data than a human brain could ever possibly absorb within a human lifetime, and yet it still can't solve an incredibly simple logic puzzle. if your solution is to throw more data at the problem, which up to this point has clearly not worked, then you fundamentally misunderstand what this type of tool is useful for.

@quantumg @arina @devopscats you can't really measure sensory inputs in terms of data. the brain discards most of its sensory input, and it's not something you can represent in terms of a digital signal because everything is analog. the important takeaway is, humans are infinitely better at parsing language than a language model ever will be, for a fraction of the energy cost. full stop.

the power of the human mind is in its ability to discard irrelevant information. LLMs can't do that, period.

[โ€ฆ]

Note: This whimsical story is purely fictional and meant for entertainment. Please do not attempt to sail on actual cabbages. ๐Ÿ˜„โ€

This is gorgeous-Hollywood-level! ๐Ÿ˜†

First part of the story. Me: โ€œA man have a boat. How can they go across the cabbage?โ€ Copilot: โ€œThe scenario youโ€™ve described seems quite whimsical! ๐Ÿšฃโ€โ™‚๏ธ Letโ€™s explore a playful solution: Once upon a time, in a land where cabbages floated like lily pads on a vast, leafy sea, there lived a man named Barnaby. Barnaby was an adventurous soul, and he owned a small wooden boat named โ€œCabbage Leaf.โ€ One sunny morning, as the dew glistened on the cabbage leaves, Barnaby decided to embark on a daring voyage. His goal? To sail across the cabbage sea and reach the mysterious island of Sauerkraut. Legend had it that Sauerkraut Island was home to the worldโ€™s most flavorful pickles and the friendliest sauerkraut-loving trolls. Barnaby stepped into his boat, adjusted his sailorโ€™s hat, and set sail. But how could he navigate through the floating cabbages? Hereโ€™s what he did:โ€ (next part of the story in the next screenshot)
The Cabbage Compass: Barnaby pulled out his trusty cabbage compass. Instead of pointing north, this magical compass pointed toward the crunchiest cabbage within sight. Barnaby followed its lead, steering Cabbage Leaf toward the crispiest greens. Cabbage Oars: Barnaby dipped his oars into the cabbage sea. Each stroke propelled him forward, as if the cabbages themselves were pushing him along. The oars made a satisfying squish-squash sound, and Barnaby grinned. Cabbage Waves: As Barnaby rowed, the cabbages rippled like gentle waves. Occasionally, a rogue cabbage would leap out of the water, attempting to splash him. Barnaby laughed and called them โ€œcabbage dolphins.โ€ Cabbage Navigation Stars: High above, the sky was dotted with twinkling cabbage heads. Barnaby used them as his navigation stars. โ€œAh, the Great Cabbage Dipper,โ€ heโ€™d say, pointing at a constellation. โ€œThat means weโ€™re heading toward the Isle of Red Cabbage.โ€ Cabbage Whirlpools: Beware the dreaded cabbage whirlpools! These spiraling vortices threatened to suck Barnabyโ€™s boat down into the depths. But he skillfully steered clear, chanting, โ€œLefty-loosey, righty-tighty!โ€ as he spun the wheel. Cabbage Mermaids: Half-cabbage, half-fish, these enchanting creatures sang songs about coleslaw and seaweed salad. They guided Barnaby through treacherous currents, their voices harmonizing in crunchy melodies.
Cabbage Landmarks: Barnaby spotted landmarks along the way: the Great Cabbage Waterfall, the Brussels Sprout Shoals, and the Lettuce Lagoon. Each one brought him closer to Sauerkraut Island. Finally, after days of cabbage-sailing, Barnaby reached the shores of Sauerkraut Island. The trolls welcomed him with open arms (and jars of pickles). Barnaby danced with joy, knowing that his cabbage adventure had been a success. And so, dear reader, if you ever find yourself adrift on a sea of cabbages, remember Barnabyโ€™s tale. With a little imagination and a boat named โ€œCabbage Leaf,โ€ anything is possibleโ€”even crossing the cabbage! ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšฃโ€โ™‚๏ธ Note: This whimsical story is purely fictional and meant for entertainment. Please do not attempt to sail on actual cabbages. ๐Ÿ˜„ (And then, three additional Copilot prompts: What happened to Barnaby on Sauerkraut Island? Tell me another whimsical adventure! I love this story! Can you create more quirky characters?)

@devopscats And for those who wants to know what happens to Barnaby on the Sauerkraut Islandโ€ฆ

โ€œNote: This fanciful story is purely fictional and meant for entertainment. Please do not attempt to sail on actual cabbages or visit imaginary pickle islands. ๐Ÿ˜„โ€

Me: โ€œWhat happened to Barnaby on Sauerkraut Island?โ€ Copilot: โ€œOnce Barnaby stepped ashore on Sauerkraut Island, he was greeted by a peculiar sight: a parade of trolls, each wearing a pickle-shaped hat and dancing to the rhythm of fermented beats. The air smelled tangy, a mix of sauerkraut and brine. Hereโ€™s what happened next: The Pickle Council: The troll leader, Sir Dillington, welcomed Barnaby with a hearty laugh. โ€œAhoy, landlubber! Youโ€™ve sailed the cabbage sea, and now youโ€™re in the heart of pickle territory!โ€ Sir Dillington explained that Sauerkraut Island was governed by the Pickle Councilโ€”an assembly of wise trolls who debated matters of crunchiness, acidity, and flavor. The Great Pickle Debate: Barnaby attended a council meeting held in a cavern adorned with pickle-shaped stalactites. The trolls argued passionately about whether bread-and-butter pickles were superior to dill pickles. Barnaby, being diplomatic, suggested a compromise: โ€œWhy not create a โ€˜Bread-and-Dillโ€™ hybrid?โ€ The trolls gasped, realizing theyโ€™d stumbled upon pickle enlightenment. The Cabbage Boat Museum: Barnaby visited the islandโ€™s museum, where preserved cabbage boats from centuries past were displayed. Each boat had a whimsical name: โ€œColeslaw Clipper,โ€ โ€œKraut Schooner,โ€ and even โ€œFermentation Frigate.โ€ Barnaby marveled at their leafy craftsmanship. โ€
The Kraut Fountain: In the center of the island stood the Kraut Fountainโ€”a bubbling pool of sauerkraut. Legend had it that anyone who dipped their fingers into the kraut would gain pickle-related wisdom. Barnaby dipped his fingers and suddenly understood the true meaning of โ€œdill-lightful.โ€ The Dancing Cabbage Patch: At sunset, the trolls gathered in the Dancing Cabbage Patch. Barnaby joined the festivities, twirling with cabbage mermaids and doing the โ€œPickle Polka.โ€ The moon peeked through the leaves, casting a glow on the revelers. The Giant Pickle Jar: Barnaby climbed a hill to find a colossal pickle jarโ€”a monument to the islandโ€™s pickle pioneers. Inside, a giant wooden pickle floated, its brine reflecting the stars. Barnaby whispered, โ€œMay your crunch never soften.โ€ The Farewell Feast: Before leaving, Barnaby attended a grand pickle feast. Plates overflowed with pickled beets, gherkins, and kimchi. The trolls sang pickle shanties, and Barnaby shared tales of his cabbage voyage. Sir Dillington raised a pickle spear and declared, โ€œTo Barnaby, the Cabbage Captain!โ€
As Barnaby sailed away from Sauerkraut Island, he carried a jar of island-made picklesโ€”a souvenir of his adventure. And so, dear reader, if you ever find yourself near a cabbage sea, remember Barnabyโ€™s tale. For in the world of whimsy, even cabbages can lead to pickle paradise! ๐Ÿฅ’๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒŸ Note: This fanciful story is purely fictional and meant for entertainment.

This is a relatively simple river crossing puzzle. Here's how the man and the goat can cross the river:

The man takes the goat on the boat to the other side. (He can safely bring the goat with him).
The man returns alone to the starting side. (Leaving the goat safely on the other side).
The man then makes his final trip, bringing himself across the river.

@devopscats From GPT4O:

The classic puzzle with a man, a goat, and usually other items (like a wolf and cabbage) involves specific rules about who or what can be left alone with whom or what. However, since you mentioned only a man and a goat, I'll assume that the task is to get both across the river using the boat.

Here's a straightforward solution assuming the boat can carry both the man and the goat at the same time:
1. The man and the goat both get into the boat.
2. The man rows the boat across the river with the goat.
3. Both the man and the goat get out of the boat on the other side of the river.

If there are additional constraints (e.g., the boat can only carry one at a time), please provide those details.

The constraints are: The boat can only hold the man or the goat, not both at the same time. The man cannot leave the goat alone on either side of the river, as the goat will eat the man's crops. To solve this, the man would do the following: The man takes the goat across the river and leaves it on the other side. The man then returns to the original side, alone. The man then takes the crops across the river and leaves them with the goat. The man then returns to the original side, again alone. Finally, the man takes the goat across the river to join the crops on the other side. This way, the man is able to transport both the goat and the crops across the river without the goat being left alone on either side to eat the crops."

@devopscats I just tried this with Bing Copilot.

You: Solve a puzzle for me. A man is on one side of a river. He needs to cross to the other side. He has a boat. The boat is in good repair, with no tricky capacity limitations, and a working trolling motor. What steps should the man take to get across? Copilot: Certainly! This i a classic river crossing puzzle. Let's break it down: 1. Take the goat across the river. This is the first step because leaving the goat with the wolf or cabbage would be problematic. 2. Return empty-handed. The farmer goes back to the original side alone. 3. Take either the wolf or the cabbage across. If he takes the wolf, he'd have to return for the cabbage, risking the goat being eaten. If he takes the cabbage, the goat might eat it. 4. Return with the goat. The farmer brings the goat back to the original side. 5. Take whichever wasn't taken in step 3 across. Now he can take the wolf (or the cabbage) over. 6. Return empty-handed again. The farmer goes back alone. 7. Take the goat over one last time. The final step ensures that all three items are safely across. In total, there are seven crossings: four forward and three back. The key is realizing that you can bring things back, which isn't explicitly forbidden in the problem. This puzzle encourages creative thinking and is similar to the Nine Dots puzzle . Happy crossing!

@devopscats It has a pretty good punchline, though:

You: Who does the goat belong to? Copilot: The puzzle doesn't specify ownership of the goat. However, for the purpose of solving it, the man is assumed to own the goat. You: And the goat is assumed to exist. Copilot: Indeed, the goat's existence is crucial for this puzzle. Without the goat, the problem wouldn't be as interesting!

@devopscats I should note that the only similarity between my river-crossing puzzle and the nine-dots puzzle is...

[Spinning wheel icon appears, as solution processes.]

...they may be used to test the puzzle-solving capability of applicants in bullshit employment interviews.

Apparently, there's a Mobius riverbank and a full self-driving boat, or something.

@devopscats 3.5 responds like this for me too.

4 does not.

A man has a cabbage, a goat, and a wolf. He has to cross a river. The only way to cross is to use a very large boat that can accommodate a small army. How can he make sure everyone crosses the river safely?

Copilot
Ah, another classic river-crossing puzzle! Letโ€™s tackle this one:

The man needs to get the cabbage, the goat, and the wolf across the river without any unfortunate incidents. Hereโ€™s how he can do it:

First Trip (Man + Cabbage):
The man takes the cabbage across the river and leaves it on the other side.
Reason: The goat wonโ€™t eat the cabbage when left alone.

Second Trip (Man Alone):
The man returns alone (without the cabbage).

Third Trip (Man + Goat):
The man takes the goat across the river.
Reason: The wolf wonโ€™t eat the goat when left alone.

Fourth Trip (Man Alone):
The man returns alone (without the goat).

Fifth Trip (Man + Wolf):
The man takes the wolf across the river.
Reason: The goat wonโ€™t eat the wolf when left alone.

Sixth Trip (Man Alone):
The man returns alone (without the wolf).

Seventh Trip (Man + Cabbage):
The man takes the cabbage across the river again.
Reason: The wolf wonโ€™t eat the cabbage when left alone.

And there you have it! All three items (cabbage, goat, and wolf) have safely crossed the river. The key is to ensure that the goat and wolf are never left alone together, nor are the goat and cabbage. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿšฃโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Remember, itโ€™s all about strategic planning and making sure the right combinations travel together! ๐Ÿ˜‰

@devopscats I was wrong. LLMs are very capable of producing beautiful art.

@devopscats @ckape And all I'm thinking is, "Wait, it never specified the boat is on the same side of the river..."

I'm glad we have AI to think _around_ produce... I mean, problems.
