It is not intelligent. Let's just accept it. Ask what happens if you go due east exactly from NYC in a boat. Eventually you'll hit land where does it hit? Totally collapses with false information. Of course you can ask what parallel NYC is at and ask the western most point of Europe at the same parallel and it'll maybe get it right.

Give it basic directions. I'm in my car turning right on spring garden onto Broad street. I Travel north 10 miles on the same road. Where am I? It has no clue

Every time someone posts something like this, it’s amusing because they clearly don’t try it in GPT4 before they post.

GPT4 nails your question about going east from New York in a boat, even though I think that’s a very poor test of ‘intelligence.’

I have no idea what you’re asking with your second question (what city are you talking about? There is no context), so I guess I, too, am not intelligent.

What do you think that intelligent means? Able to know things it hasn’t learned? I don’t think it has been trained on localization, geography or way-finding.

> GPT-4 answer:

Let's work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer:

1. Firstly, the direction "due east" means you would be following a line of latitude, rather than a straight line on a globe. This is because the Earth is a sphere (more accurately, an oblate spheroid) rather than a flat surface.

2. New York City is located approximately at 40.71 degrees North latitude. If you were to go due east from NYC, you would be following this line of latitude across the Atlantic Ocean.

3. The first landmass you would likely encounter on this journey would be the westernmost points of mainland Europe, specifically the Iberian Peninsula which comprises Spain and Portugal. However, due to the curvature of the Earth and the specific latitude of New York, it is more likely that you'd hit the northern coast of Spain, around the region of Galicia.

4. So, based on this understanding, if you started in New York City and traveled due east, you would likely end up hitting the northern coast of Spain.

However, it's important to note that this answer assumes idealized conditions and that you're strictly adhering to the 40.71-degree North line of latitude. In reality, ocean currents, winds, and other factors might cause a vessel to drift from this line. Plus, the exact landfall can vary depending on the precise starting point in New York City, which is spread out over a fairly large geographical area.

Let's work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer:

1. First, we need to identify where Spring Garden Street and Broad Street intersect. These are streets located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

2. From the intersection, you said you would be turning right onto Broad Street, indicating that you are now heading north on Broad Street.

3. You then proceed to travel 10 miles north on Broad Street.

Determining the exact location after these steps is a bit more challenging because street maps generally don't provide mileage measurements. The scale can vary, and the actual distance can depend on the specific path taken.

However, to give a rough idea, Broad Street in Philadelphia is approximately 13 miles long from its southern end to its northern end. Given that Spring Garden Street is relatively central, traveling 10 miles north could possibly place you near or past the city limits of Philadelphia, but without more detailed map information, it's difficult to be more precise.

You'd likely end up in the vicinity of Cheltenham or Elkins Park, which are northern suburbs of Philadelphia, if the distance traveled is relatively straight, but again this could vary based on the specific path taken and the precise start location. This is a rough estimate and the exact location may vary. For precise navigation, it's recommended to use GPS or a reliable map application.
