Weeks later, Sonnet’s “reasoning” model is struggling with a game designed for children.
- "PhD level intelligence"
- Fails at basic tasks
I have never found an LLM model this relatable before.
Damn. This is brutally relatable.
Repeat after me: LLMs do not have intelligence.
They don't. But nevertheless, the progress they've made in a year is very impressive.
The question left to be seen is how it'll look in a year or two: hardly any improvement, or a beaten elite four?
The fact that Twitch chat was able to beat Pokemon Red faster than AI's been able to get to Vermillion is pretty funny to me
If the graphics are a hurdle, choose a newer version. Why are they obsessed with Gen1?
I wonder if it's because the game itself is the simplest. They keep adding new systems with each iteration—as well as better graphics—so maybe they want to start with the easiest.
So, it’s really just playing like any 5 year old.
