AI are dumber than ducks

AI is not going to replace you soon. Here is why 👇

This simple riddle is the latest joke among AI experts. It stumps most of our sophisticated GPT models. 🤖🎢

Here is it:

You see one group of ducks and

• one duck is behind two ducks,

• one duck is in front of two ducks,

• one duck is in the middle of two ducks. How many ducks at least are there in the group?

Seems simple, right?
🦆🦆 🦆 3 ducks et voilà

Yet, Mixtral finds 4 ducks, GPT-3.5 thinks 5 ducks, Gemini Pro 6 at minimum, and "there may be more"

It's a veritable festival of errors, except for GPT-4, which apparently got it right. 🎯

This humorous highlight underscores a serious point. 👉 Today GPT have no reasoning capacity.

They are word machines producing illusion of reason. So while they can dazzle us with complex tasks, they fail seemingly simple others 🧠

So when we worry about AI outsmarting humanity, let's remember the duck riddle.

So 🦆 vs 🤖: who is smarter ?
