Not the point, but I’m confused by the Geoguessr screenshot. Under the reasoning for its decision, it mentions “traffic keeps to the left” but that is not apparent from the photo.

Then it says the shop sign looks like a “Latin alphabet business name rather than Spanish or Portuguese”. Uhhh… what? Spanish and Portuguese use the Latin alphabet.





It's an LLM.

It decided on the first line first (the place name), and then made the reasons on the rest of the text.

So the answer is more important on the justifications than the actual picture, and the reasoning that led it there doesn't enter the frame at all.


What is 12+12?

> The answer is 24! See the ASCII values of '1' is 49, '2' is 50, and '+' is 43. Adding all that together we get 3. Now since we are doing this on a computer with a 8-bit infrastructure we multiply by 3 and so the answer is 24.

Cool! I didn't understand any of that but it was correct and you sound smart. I will put this thing in charge of critical parts of my business.
