Cracking advanced equations and exploring genomes seems like something it would have no problem doing.

And then I thought I should ask the uber-logical AI for advice on other, more day-to-day issues.

OpenAI-o1

Logic yes humor no

The short answer is yes.

The o1-preview and mini models are really good at solving simple and complex riddles.

I tested it on a couple of my favorites, including one fromThe Hobbit.

Ok, so it could handle existing riddles, but could it make a new one?

I wont keep you in suspense; I suggested two dogs as the answer to work back from.

Several other attempts brought the same kind of question.

So, riddle writers are probably safe at their jobs.

The answers were good, with advice about checking the tires, engine, muffler, and brakes.

Its the thinking behind the answers that was interesting.

It sounded a lot like an actual person trying to be logical while thinking aloud.

I finally went to what, for me, was always way more complex than quantum physics: flirting.

I asked how to tell when someone is flirting and how to respond.

The behind-the-scenes thinking part was both more interesting and genuinely funnier than any of the AIs attempts at riddles.

The headers included Understanding flirting dynamics, Spotting interest signals, and Recognizing playful intimacy.

They were like aStar Trekandroids speech about love.

One part was slightly worrisome, though.

Violent content is allowed, harassment with context is okay, and personal opinions are absent.

ChatGPT o1-preview and o1-mini dont have all the bells and whistles of the more complete models.

No image uploads, document analysis, or even web browsing can be done with them.
