Screenshot of this question was making the rounds last week. But this article covers testing against all the well-known models out there.

Also includes outtakes on the ‘reasoning’ models.

      They also polled 10,000 people to compare against a human baseline:

      Turns out GPT-5 (7/10) answered about as reliably as the average human (71.5%) in this test. Humans still outperform most AI models with this question, but to be fair I expected a far higher “drive” rate.

      That 71.5% is still a higher success rate than 48 out of 53 models tested. Only the five 10/10 models and the two 8/10 models outperform the average human. Everything below GPT-5 performs worse than 10,000 people given two buttons and no time to think.

        Can they do to samplings for that? One in a city with a decent to good education system. The other in the backwoods out in the middle of nowhere…where family trees are sticks.

        This here is the point most people fail to grasp. The AI was taught by people. And people are wrong a lot of the time. So the AI is more like us than what we think it should be. Right down to it getting the right answer for all the wrong reasons. We should call it human AI. Lol.

          Like I said the person above, there is no wrong answer. Its all about assumptions. It is a stupid trick question that no one would ask.

              LOL! That is a great answer.

              I have a Microsoft story. I know some one who was hired to stop them from continuing an open source project. They gave them a good salary, stock options, and an office with a fully stocked bar. They said do whatever you want, they figured they would get a good developer and kill the open source competition (back in the Ballmer days).

              Sadly, given money, no real ambition to create closed source software, they mostly spent their days in their office and basically drank themselves to death.

              Microsoft just kills everything it touches.

      What is the wrong answer though? It is a stupid question. I would look at you sideways if you asked me this, because the obvious answer is “walk silly, the car is already at the car wash”. Otherwise why would you ask it?

      Which is telling because when asked to review the answer, the AI’s that I have seen said, you asked me how you were going to get to the car wash. Assumption the car was already there.

      Yeah I straight up misread the question, so I would have gotten it wrong.
