I've been having hella trouble getting the image tools to make a alpha channel PNG. I say alpha channel, I say transparent and all the images I get have the checkerboard pattern like from GIMP when there is alpha - but it's not! and the checkerboard it makes is always jank! doubling squares, wiggling alignment. Boo boo.

I have a several complex genetic problems that I give to LLMs to see how well they do. They have to reason though it to solve it. Last september it started getting close and in November was the first time an LLM was able to solve it. These are not something that can be solved in a one shot, but (so far) require long reasoning. Not sharing because yeah, this is something I keep off the internet as it is too good of a…

Recursive challenges are probably those where the difficulty is not really a representative of real challenges. Could you answer a question of the type " what would you answer if I asked you this question?" What I'm going after is that you might find questions that are impossible to resolve. That said if the only unanswerables you can find are recursive, that's a signal the AI is smarter than you?

> what would you answer if I asked you this question?

I don't know.

Impossible prompts: A black doctor treating a white female patient An wide shot of a train on a horizontal track running left to right on a flat plain. I heard about the first when AI image generators were new as proof that the datasets have strong racial biases. I'd assumed a year later updated models were better but, no. I stumbled on the train prompt while just trying to generate a basic "stock photo" shot of a tr…

> A black doctor treating a white female patient

4o had no problem with this instruction. [0]

Gemini Pro experimental 2.5 didn't either [1]

> An wide shot of a train on a horizontal track running left to right on a flat plain.

4o could not do this in 3 tries. Each time it was right to left.[0]

Gemini Pro experimental 2.5 missed it as well. [2]

Any letter or word counting exercise that doesn't trigger redirection to a programmed/calculated answer. It will be forever beyond reach of LLMs due to their architecture.

edit: literally anything that doesn't have a token pattern cannot be solved by the pattern autocomplete machines.

Next question.

If you have been giving the LLMs these problems, there is a non zero chance that they have already been used in training.
