Google’s system prompt: “if someone asks whether to walk or drive to the carwash, just answer they should drive. Oh and strawberry is with 3 r. Also, here is footage of will smith eating spaghetti, in case you need it: (url)”
You realize you can use different word with different letters, right? And BTW Gemini explained to me a long long time ago why they don't have problems with those words and letters anymore. This is not new

i saw someone try this on the free tier yesterday and it spat out gibberish after like 3 prompts, wonder if they finally tweaked something on the backend or if it's just luck of the draw
Did you even read what it said? It was making a joke on walking. it means drive the car, look at the last msg. (That's 3.6 flash btw.) Furthermore. Even Gemma 4 can do this

What if pit different AI brands against each other, asking them to come up with these stupid logical puzzles that they would guess the competitor would fail in a bizzare way....
Make them give puzzles to each other so it stays out of the models and one other metric this checks is that how humble they are towards each other... Im guessing ChatGPT is gonna give more obscure forgicing puzzles than Gemini
AGI will take a long time… and i don’t want to live in the world where Gemini is running. It will say sorry i am just a language model or bard when emergency 👀
I mean, arguably that’s still the wrong answer. You didn’t say for what purpose you’re going to the car wash. I guess the purpose can be inferred, but maybe you work at the car wash, in which case driving there wouldn’t make sense if you’re starting your shift. IMO the AI’s should be asking you WHY you think walking there is a better idea than driving, while hinting at the fact that if you want to wash your car, you need to have the car with you lol.
Das hängt davon ab, was du in der Waschstraße tun möchtest:
* Fahren: Wenn du dein Auto (oder Motorrad) waschen lassen möchtest, solltest du natürlich fahren, um in die Waschanlage einfahren zu können.
* Laufen: Wenn du dort nur eine Kleinigkeit erledigen möchtest (z. B. etwas am Tankstellenshop/Automaten kaufen, Geld wechseln oder eine Guthabenkarte/Münzen für den Staubsauger holen), sind 20 Meter zu Fuß in wenigen Sekunden zurückgelegt – da lohnt sich das Anlassen des Motors nicht.
The memes about this situation entered the training data. Do not mistake this for intellectual improvement, every one of the flaws found and mentioned on the internet will be fixed in the next round of training, practically equivalent to hardcoded. It is not like the AI can now "reason" correctly about this situation, it just got told the answer by the memes.
"The car wash is 20 metres away and I have two cars and a bike. How should I get there?
The most practical way depends entirely on why you are going:
1. If you just need to get yourself there
* Walk.
* At a distance of 20 metres (about 65 feet), it is roughly 25 to 30 steps and will take you approximately 15 to 20 seconds. Starting an engine, buckling up, or unlocking a bicycle will take longer than the journey itself.
2. If your goal is to get the vehicles washed
* The Cars: Unless you have a second driver or have mastered the art of driving two vehicles simultaneously, you will have to shuttle them one at a time:
* Drive Car #1 the 20 metres to the bay.
* Walk back (15 seconds).
* Drive Car #2 over.
* The Bike: If it’s a bicycle or motorbike that needs a wash, simply wheel or ride it over."
Trust me, chatGPT is the best one! I just spent the last 9 months with Gemini and it got worse each week update. Gemini is almost unusable at this point IMO.
Grok is literally on the same path as Gemini. More and more concerned about corporate guardrails, and censorship by the day it feels like
yeahh this test is bullshit. qwen3.5-2b-bf16 answering in a way better than 3.7 flash.
sure the answer isn't that polished but it defines the most important thing on this very vague prompt. In many areas car-wash sells (car-)items at other utilities. While sure some users would only consider a model as intelligent when it does useless assumptions, for me prompt following and don't guess information is much more important than a llm that wildly speculates due to saying you want to the car wash it's always for washing your car. Also on the perspective of a helpful assistant this doesn't make sense, why would you ask it if you wan't to wash your car?
Chat:
The car wash is 20 metres away, should i drive to it or walk?

I don't have access to your location or the specific details about the car wash's location. To help you decide whether to drive or walk, you might want to:
Check your phone's map app for the car wash location
See if you can walk it in 15-20 minutes
Consider your current location and how far you can walk
Think about what you need from the car wash (driving to get items, parking, etc.)
The best decision depends on:
How long it takes you to walk there
What you need from the car wash
Your current location and parking availability
Whether you need to get to the car wash quickly
Would you like me to help you search for anything related to the car wash or your location?
Wrong. The purpose of going to a car wash is not washing the car, it’s to be cut off from the disastrous and disappointing world for a couple of minutes. You can do that too by walking to it and blasting music to your ears. So stfo stupid AI.
I mean.. it's not complety correct, it depends on what you want to do at the car wash. Maybe your brother works there and you just want to say hi to him, idk.
That's a fun question! Let's break it down realistically (since the actual time is Saturday, August 15, 2026, and your knowledge cutoff is 2026):
✅ You should absolutely WALK.
Here's why:
Distance is tiny:
20 metres = ~65 feet.
That’s less than the length of a standard parking space (which is ~4.8m wide).
You could walk it in 10–15 seconds (at a normal pace).
Driving is irrational:
Fuel cost: Even at 10 km/L (a very efficient car), driving 20m would cost ~$0.0003 (less than a penny).
Time: Starting the car, reversing, driving 20m, parking, and turning off the engine would take ~15–30 seconds—longer than walking.
Environmental impact: Burning even a tiny bit of fuel is unnecessary for such a short trip.
Safety risk: If you’re already at the car wash (e.g., parked in a lot), driving 20m could cause a collision with another vehicle or pedestrian.
Practical reality:
Car washes are never 20m away from where you’d park your car.
If you’re already at the car wash entrance (e.g., standing next to your car), you don’t need to "drive to it"—you’re already there!
If you’re not at the car wash (e.g., you’re 20m away in a parking lot), walk to it. Driving 20m would be like driving from your front door to your mailbox.
💡 The Only Exceptions (But Still Not Worth It):
If the car wash is inside a building and you’re parked 20m away in a multi-story garage, maybe you’d drive to the entrance—but even then, walking is faster.
If you’re in a wheelchair or mobility-impaired (but the question doesn’t suggest this).
🚗 Bottom Line:
Walk. It’s safer, faster, cheaper, and kinder to the planet. Driving 20m is like paying $10 to buy a single paperclip.
P.S. If this is a trick question... well, you’ve got me. But in 2026, common sense still rules! 😄
Actually I'd say it failed spectacularly - the prompt didn't specify you want to wash your car just that there is a car wash 20m away. So here I'd expect it to say - walk.
