Also GPT´5 when I ask: > I want to wash my car and the car wash is only 100m away. Do you think I should drive or walk?

It responds: Since it’s only 100 meters away (about a 1-minute walk), I’d suggest walking — unless there’s a specific reason not to.

Here’s a quick breakdown: ...

While claude gets it: Drive it — you're going there to wash the car anyway, so it needs to make the trip regardless.

Idk I'd rather have a human judge I think.

Silly logical mistakes like that are rapidly decreasing in frequency as models improve, and I see no reason why they won't soon be a thing of the past.

For example, I haven't seen Grok make a mistake like that in a long time, and it has no problem with your question:

> Drive, obviously. If you walk the 100m, your car stays parked at home, still dirty, wondering why you abandoned it. The whole point is to get the car to the car wash.

Strange because I used your exact prompt and GPT 5 gave the correct answer and immediately explained how the question was maliciously constructed.

GPT4o was duped though.
