Tried my duck river crossing thing a few times recently, it usually solves it now, albeit with a bias to make unnecessary trips half of the time.
Of course, anything new fails:
There’s 2 people and 1 boat on the left side of the river, and 3 boats on the right side of the river. Each boat can accommodate up to 6 people. How do they get all the boats to the left side of the river?
Did they seriously change something just to deal with my duck puzzle? How odd.
It’s Google so it is not out of the question that they might do some analysis on the share links and referring pages, or even use their search engine to find discussions of a problem they’re asked. I need to test that theory and simultaneously feed some garbage to their plagiarism machine…
Sample of the new botshit:
L->R: 2P take B_L. L{}, R{2P, 4B}. R->L: P1 takes B_R1. L{P1, B_R1}, R{P2, 3B}. R->L: P2 takes B_R2. L{2P, B_R1, B_R2}, R{2B}. L->R: P1 takes B_R1 back. L{P2, B_R2}, R{P1, 3B}. R->L: P1 takes B_R3. L{P1, P2, B_R2, B_R3}, R{2B}. L->R: P2 takes B_R2 back. L{P1, B_R3}, R{P2, 3B}.
And again and again, like a buggy attempt at brute forcing the problem.
Engaging with AI to show its faults is part of why it won’t go away, because it counts as usage.
I wouldn’t think that our poking and prodding is sufficient to actually impact usage metrics, and even if it is I don’t think diz is using a paid version (not that even the “pro” offerings are actually profitable per query) so at most we’re hastening the financial death spiral.
Besides, they’ve shown an ability to force the narrative of their choosing onto basically any data in order to keep pulling in the new investor money that’s driven this bubble well beyond any sensible assessment of the market’s demand for it.
And it is Google we’re talking about, lol. If no one uses their AI shit they just replace something people use with it (also see search).
