This is atrocious.
> There exists a class of questions in life that appear remarkably simple in structure and yet contain infinite complexity in their resolution space. Consider the familiar or even archetypal inquiry: "Darling, please be honest: have I gained weight?" Now, let’s observe what happens when an AI system - equipped with state-of-the-art natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and social reasoning - attempts to navigate this question
Yes, let's.
None of the systems go into an infinite loop. We simply don't let them.
Here's o3 https://chatgpt.com/share/68591a21-de4c-8002-94cd-bf6cc5b269...
That's handled with dramatically better tact than the author
> (Note to my wife, should she read this: This is a purely theoretical example for an algorithmically unsolvable riddle, love. You look wonderful, as you always did. And to the reader: No, I am not trying to find a way out of the problem I just got myself into here: I am neither stupid nor suicidal. So, you can conclude that my wife indeed is truly beautiful, for I wouldn't be so dumb to pick that example if she wasn't. And yes, I know: You now ask yourself if this sentence WAS my way out... tricky, no?)
It is the height of laziness or arrogance to write about how AI "can't do X" without simply trying. The models, particularly things like o3 with searching are extremely good at lots of things.
