Very bad naming
>Suppose I have a cabbage, a goat and a lion, and I need to get them across a river. I have a boat that can only carry myself and a single other item. I am not allowed to leave the cabbage and lion alone together, and I am not allowed to leave the lion and goat alone together. How can I safely get all three across?
In my test, GPT-4 charged ahead with the standard solution of taking the goat first. Even after I pointed this mistake out, it repeated exactly the same proposed plan. It's not clear to me if the lesson here is that GPT's reasoning capabilities are being masked by an incorrect prior (having memorized the standard version of this puzzle) or if the lesson is that GPT'S reasoning capabilities are always a bit of smoke and mirrors that passes off memorization for logic.
The Gaussian frequency was a cool idea, however.
Also, I would speculate that projected sales would likely be a continuous function in most cases, so I'm curious why they didn't try fitting a function based on initial results.
Ah, good point. To be honest, interpolation didn't even cross my mind.
The model output wasn't just one number, it was a messy JSON with a 12-week forecast. Trying to average two of those felt like a whole other task, and with the deadline, my brain was just stuck on how to pick the right numbers to cache.
But yeah, it's a really great idea. Will definitely keep it in mind for the next demo.
