I still call my 12 year old cat a "kitty". If someone marked my answer as incorrect because "chicks aren't chickens yet" I would think they're wasting their time with riddles instead of actual intelligence testing. Besides, if the chicks were sellable to the farmer, why the hell wouldn't the farmer be able to sell them?

Now I have to think of this Reddit thread that made me react pretty similarly: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/s/jWlSqhJsOH https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/s/jWlSqhJsOH The OP there also has a pretty bad riddle (due to a grammatical error that completely changes the meaning and makes the intended solution nonsensical, and a solution that many people wouldn’t even have heard of).

  Exactly! I read that riddle and thought "a couple islands over the international date line" solely because of the last line, but still had no idea what the name of these islands thousands of miles away from me were named. Might as well make the riddle who their little brother is, and make the answer "Fairway Rock", if niche knowledge is your goal. Which, completely to GPT-o1's credit, it did solve in a single prompt when I asked! https://chatgpt.com/share/66f9371a-d6a0-8003-b2b5-4af3b10e8adb https://chatgpt.com/share/66f9371a-d6a0-8003-b2b5-4af3b10e8a...

> Besides, if the chicks were sellable to the farmer, why the hell wouldn't the farmer be able to sell them? I think maybe the original poster is making some sort of additional assumption that the farmer must be selling chickens as meat at the market and a chick wouldn't be sold for that purpose until it's a mature chicken? (Of course depending on how you interpret the question a chick is a chicken (species) and there's nothing inherently preventing reselling the chicks so I don't really understand why OP thinks the ai answer is clearly objectively wrong. It seems more like a matter of interpretation.)

  After posting I realized that the farmer bought some chicks so it could be interpreted that way. I should have modified it to say that 6 chickens hatched. Anyways this thread is a perfect example of the chaotic datasets that are being used to train FMs. These arguments of whether it’s reasonable to assume a chick could mature into a chicken within a week are happening everyday and have been taking place for years. Safe to say a billion dollars has been spent on datasets to train FMs where everybody has a different interpretation and the datasets are not aligned.
