doesnt seem unreasonable.

These faux questions always have a valid interpretation that the asker doesn't admit (for some reason). The model is then castigated for not making an opinionated choice

[kennywinker]

That’s not what’s happening.

The question is revealing that the model has a model of language but not of reality. It knows what words go together, but not real-world concepts.

This. LLMs are marketed on the false premise of all knowledge, intelligence and wisdom being possible to be encoded in language only.

[riversflow]

lol, i think the LLM shows more wisdom here than the average person. Functionally, being 50m away from the car wash is at the car wash if you have a dirty car in your possession that needs cleaning. Realistically, the only reason you express the need to go to the carwash if you are in a 50m proximity with your car you intend to clean at the carwash is if you need to walk in and talk to someone.

As a test, explaining away peculiar answers by imagining unlikely outlier scenarios is not the counter you seem to think it is.

For most of them, we’d worry that a human answerer using maximum effort to produce the same outcome was having a stroke.

maybe unreasoning.

also, naysayers apparently DO have a compelling reason.
