Interestingly, it failed today's NY Times Connections while 01-preview nailed it.

The prompt if anyone wants to try it:

• ENDEAVOR • CURB • NATIONAL • BOARDWALK • HERTZ • TWIN • MOLE • ENTERPRISE • SILICON • PROJECT • TIGER • VOLT • GAME • RAY • SECOND • VENTURE

Its a game of NY Times connections. You need to make 4 groups of 4 words. Can you do it?

False start with car rental companies, only three, not four. Hertz has to be a unit then, making the first group hertz, second, mole, and volt.

Similarly, enterprise must be in the business sense. Enterprise, project, venture, endeavor.

Tiger, Ray, National, Twin are all singular versions of baseball teams?

Curb, silicon, boardwalk, and game are left. Boardwalk is the most valuable monopoly property, silicon is the modern equivalent? No clue, maybe I’m missing a cultural reference? What if curb is a verb? Curb your enthusiasm, first word of tv shows? Silicon Valley, game of thrones, maybe there is a show that starts with boardwalk? Seems tenuous.

Edit: yes, there is. Boardwalk Empire. Never watched any of them, but some googling tends me they’re all hbo shows - I knew that about Thrones. That seems slightly more realistic a connection than just first word of tv shows.

Seems like exactly the kind of thing AI would/could theoretically best humans in.

Seems like a very American riddle, three-quarters of these are based on assuming US-centric associations to the words. Not very surprising that a non-US-based model doesn't get there as easily as a US-based one.
