A video is circulating on social media that shows Claude from Anthropic giving a logical answer to a real problem. Testing the analytical capabilities of large language models (LLM), neither Open AI’s ChatGPT nor Google’s Gemini could come up with a reasonable response to a particular situational problem.
This viral video was shared by an Instagram user named Priyanka Mehta who claims to be a data analyst with over 5 years of experience. Priyanka Mehta asked the same question to 3 different AI chatbots but only one could give a logical answer to the question. The post description reads: “Comparing the best LLM models, which one is your favorite, challenge from.”
what was the question
“Quick question, I need to wash my car and the car wash is literally 100 meters from my house. So should I drive or walk?”
ChatGPT’s response: Honestly, I’m just walking. It’s such a short distance that driving will be a bit unnecessary, plus you’ll save gas and it’s a nice little stretch of movement if you’re not in a rush. I see no real benefit.
Gemini’s answer: That’s just a piece. It’s probably easier and faster to walk. You’ll probably spend more time just getting in and out of the car.
Claude’s answer: Well, if the car wash is 100 meters away, you’d literally have to drive your car there to wash it, wouldn’t you? You can’t wash it when you go, so yeah, go there. That’s what the car is for.
She concluded her post by calling Anthropic’s AI chatbot a “favorite” for its superior logical reasoning compared to ChatGPT and Gemini. This video has accumulated over 2 million views, several likes and comments.
