ChatGPT o1-preview can solve riddles faster than me…
When OpenAI released the much-hyped Strawberry model for ChatGPT this week, it boasted of its prowess with complex logic like software coding, gene sequencing, and quantum physics in a series of videos.
The models, called o1-preview and o1-mini on ChatGPT, are indeed impressive in their capabilities. They are capable of cracking advanced equations and exploring genomes with ease.
Handling Riddles
As a member of my middle school's logic and riddle club, I decided to put ChatGPT to the test in solving puzzles and riddles, my turf. The AI proved to be exceptionally good at solving both simple and complex riddles. While they may not be as fast as GPT-4o, the o1-preview and mini models outperformed humans in solving riddles, providing logical explanations step by step.
I tested the AI on various riddles, including one from The Hobbit, and it demonstrated a strong grasp of logic, although there were occasional grammatical errors in its explanations.
Creating Riddles
When challenged to create a new riddle, ChatGPT successfully came up with imaginative questions based on given answers. However, it struggled to generate humor in its creations, indicating that riddle writers are still safe in their jobs.
Everyday Life Queries
Aside from riddles, I explored ChatGPT's ability to handle mundane life questions. The AI provided practical advice on issues such as car noises, relationship dynamics, and flirting. It demonstrated logical thinking in its responses, resembling a human thought process.
Conclusion
While ChatGPT o1-preview and o1-mini lack certain advanced features like image uploads and web browsing, they excel in speed and logic. Their ability to solve riddles, address everyday questions, and provide detailed reasoning sets them apart. However, when it comes to creativity and humor, there is still room for improvement.
