Firefox has decided to install ChatGPT on my system. At some point I
will have to find out how inquisitive it is, but for now I've been
setting it puzzles.
I'm not sure what to make of that, but I wouldn't want that AI driving vehicles just yet.

I've been running through a knapsack problem, which I hadn't heard of
before, with it. It came up with the following solution:
Total Value:
Diamond Necklace: -u800
Ancient Vases: -u1200
Silver Cups: -u800
Gold Coins: -u250
Total Value = 800 + 1200 + 800 + 250 = -u4250
I'm not sure what to make of that, but I wouldn't want that AI driving vehicles just yet.

Yes, the three Rs are not its longest suits. It seems to do rather
better at history and geography (and turning ASCII into UTF-8 after
being specifically told not to).

Although I know little about the subject of Artificial Intelligence, I'd
have though the basics of arithmetic and the physical laws would be
embedded in to any system, in an immutable way, before it began training
on other, more questionable, material.
I would hope so, at least.
All hope abandon!
Go to brainbashers.com, open the puzzle of the day, and note the URL,
which contains a date. You can hack it and go back about a year.
Many of the puzzles can be copy-pasted directly into ChatGPT. It
generally catches on pretty quick to what it's supposed to do,
and *sometimes* it gets it very right very fast, but often it gets its knickers in a twist, and it's frankly rather embarrassing when it tries
to count the letters in a word, and /fails/.
