They train on sneer-problems now:
Here’s the “ferry‑shuttle” strategy, exactly analogous to the classic two‑ferryman/many‑boats puzzle, but with planes and pilots
And lo and behold, singularity - it can solve variants that no human can solve:

Two ferrymen and three boats are on the left bank of a river. Each boat holds exactly one man. How can they get both men and all three boats to the right bank?
Can someone explain the origin of this problem for someone ootl?
River crossing puzzles are a genre of logic problems that go back to the olden days. AI slop bots can act like they can solve them, because many solutions appear in their training data. But push the bot a little harder, and funny things happen.
That makes sense. So it’s just an obviously bullshit river crossing puzzle that the chatbot is calling a classic problem.
Pretty much. Our friend up top (diz/OP) has made a slight hobby of poking the latest and greatest LLM releases with variants of these puzzles to try and explore the limitations of LLM “cognition”.
