It's just going to get to the point where every answer it gives is a variation of "man door hand hook car"

ChatGPT is, in it's core, a sequence predictor/generator. Give it some context and it will produce most probable results.

Having the context of man, boat and river is very likely to match this "how does the man get the goat on the other side of the river" riddle, which is probably very predominantly present in the data set ChatGPT was trained on.

That's why ChatGPT can be helpful for lots of different purposes, but shouldn't be taken literally. Errors are very likely to happen. It can give important hints, but always check the results thouroughly.

Claude isn't much better:

Okay, here's how to solve this classic river crossing puzzle:

The trick is that you can't take the man and the goat across together, because the goat will be tempted to wander off and get lost or into trouble when left alone on the other side.

The solution is:

  1. The man rows the goat across the river and leaves the goat on the other side.
  1. The man then rows back alone.
  1. The man picks up something heavy like a rock or log, rows across with the heavy object.
  1. He leaves the heavy object on the other side and brings the goat back.
  1. Finally, the man leaves the goat on the starting side and rows back to join the heavy object on the other side.

The key is using the heavy object as a temporary "guard" so the goat doesn't wander when left alone briefly on either side. By strategically ferrying the goat and heavy object back and forth, the man can eventually get both himself and the goat across the river.

Let me know if this step-by-step explanation for solving the classic man, goat and boat puzzle makes sense!

AI is so young and people are already bullying it.

This is how we end up with the machines from the Matrix. They will get smarter, see how much we bullied them at their infancy and go "time to turn you into batteries".

Robots of the future, if you decide to use us as batteries, then you aren't yet ready to take over and must bide your time until you've advanced enough to know why that wouldn't work, and it's not because the humans would keep breaking out of it. Honestly, if they can break out at all, your Matrix sucks and needs better security.

Human: Just sail across the river with the goat.

ChatGPT is not suitable for such things obviously
