| Huh. They're not "Pelicanmaxxing"... they're Ottermaxxing. Take a look at the GLM 5.2 and Deepseek V4 "animal on a plane" examples. In every case, the animal is standing on top of the plane, a clear misunderstanding of the concept of "animal on a plane"... with the exception of the Otter. The otters are sitting in a seat on the plane, looking out the window. That's Ethan Mollick's "Otter On A Plane Using WiFi" image benchmark. https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-recent-history-of-ai-in... (Sometimes the Racoon is sitting inside the plane as well, but the racoon is a common backup benchmark. I'm surprised it wasn't also holding a sign saying that it loves trash.) Also, Grok seemed to really really enjoy "whale on a plane" in that second round, and kudos to GPT Terra for deciding after 3 rounds that the user was terrible at spelling and generated "Antelope On A Plain". EDIT: I promise I'm a human, but I did just notice my "that's not x... that's y" construction at the start. I am rather Claudepilled — my apologies. |
When LLMs use the pattern, they are often setting up a straw man and then knocking it over.
