Bard is getting better at logic and reasoning
Trying my favorite LLM prompt to benchmark reasoning, as I mentioned in a thread four weeks ago[0].<p>> I'm playing assetto corsa competizione, and I need you to tell me how many liters of fuel to take in a race. The qualifying time was 2:04.317, the race is 20 minutes long, and the car uses 2.73 liters per lap.<p>The correct answer is around 29, which GPT-4 has always known, but Bard just gave me 163.8, 21, and 24.82 as answers across three drafts.<p>What's even weirder is that Bard's first draft output ten lines of (wrong) Python code to calculate the result, even though my prompt mentioned nothing coding related. I wonder how non-technical users will react to this behavior. Another interesting thing is that the code follows Google's style guides.<p>[0]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35893130" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35893130</a>
