Gemini on fast also tells me to walk...

On Thinking it tells me I should drive if I want to wash it, or walk if it's because I work there or if I want to buy something at the car wash shop.

On Pro it's like a sarcastic teenager: Cars are notoriously difficult to wash by dragging a bucket back and forth.

Technically correct, but did catch me offguard lol.

It's not surprising that some models will answer this correctly and it's not surprising that smaller, faster models are not necessarily any worse than bigger "reasoning" models.

Current LLMs simply don't do reasoning by any reasonable definition of reasoning.

It's possible that this particular question is too short to trigger the "reasoning" machinery in some of the "reasoning" models. But if and when it is triggered, they just do some more pattern matching in a loop. There's never any actual reasoning.

You gotta love the "humor" of Gemini. On Fast it told me:

> Drive. Unless you plan on pushing the car there
