Just a heads up for anyone who may use this in an argument. I just tested on several models and the generated response accounted for the logical fallacy. Unfortunately it isn't real.
( Funny non-the less )
Tested on GPT-5 mini and it's real tho?
Edit: Gemini gives different results
Man, I really hate how much they waffle. The only valid response is "You have to drive, because you need your car at the car wash in order to wash it".
I don't need an explanation what kind of problem it is, nor a breakdown of the options. I don't need a bulletpoint list of arguments. I don't need pros and cons. And I definitely don't need a verdict.
I'll also accept sarcasm.
"Unless you've successfully trained your car to follow you like a loyal golden retriever, you're probably going to have to drive."
Yeaaah they waffle a lot, i hate that
It's the illusion of reason
I've found some success in ussing system prompts or similar to ignore explaining things lol
They are trained to yap because it gives them a higher likelihood of giving the correct answer. If they don't go on and on in user presented text, it at least does it in hidden text.
