GPT-4 still recognizes the pattern and solves it:

> Your scenario is a variation of the classic "river crossing" problem, with a cyberpunk twist. The goal is to move all three viruses (a_virus.exe, b0Rk.worm, and cy83r_h4x.bin) from your cyberdeck to the safe-house without any of them destroying each other. Here's a step-by-step solution:



Exactly. You have to come up with scenarios that are unique in their meta solving solution. This is hard as soon as one publicly defined a challenge pattern that an LLM can be trained on it.


Hey, neat!

Edit: looking at the whole conversation, it did recognize the problem but then it got the answer wrong. Interesting.


why is that interesting?

it's a text suffix generator - you wouldn't expect it to generate a correct answer for a logic puzzle that isn't in it's training data.


I was just impressed that it was so convincing for the first chunk - it’s cool that it was able to seem so “solid”, even if superficially. I’ve been out of the loop for a while and stuff’s been moving fast!


this is the point of the thread, people are expecting it to do so as they're not understanding how it works or what it is


it's the point of basically every discussion on HN about this. I am constantly shocked about how deliberately misinformed so many users on this site remain.


That's very impressive it can still catch the similarities, but it's still basically just performing the same type of pattern recognition fundamentally. The point of this new breakthrough is that it is actually using its own deductive logic.
