Maybe it’s besides the point, but ChatGPT gives this now

> ”First, list out Samantha’s siblings explicitly: • Brothers (2 total): Alex + one other brother • Sisters (4 total): Samantha + three other sisters

Since Alex shares all siblings with Samantha, let’s see it from Alex’s perspective. Alex himself is one of the 2 brothers. Therefore, from Alex’s point of view: • He has 1 other brother (the second brother besides himself). • He has 4 sisters (including Samantha).

Thus, Alex has 1 brother and 4 sisters.”

This just moves the goalpost. I’m sure someone can give the next example where it fails. I find it useless as well, but at the same time it really feels like criticizing a talking dog about their lack of understanding.

It's non-deterministic, everyone gets different responses

True but I believe o1 gets it everytime. Can’t prove it though.
