A simple prompt you can copy-paste to behold your smartest AI chatbot being unable to solve an extremely basic pattern recognition test.

In light of AI Explained's video showcasing this, here is a simple text-based version I whipped up.

Copy the following, but because Reddit formatting for displaying code is different, add a line of triple backticks before and after each grid.

Here is an 8*8 grid. Character _ represents an empty tile, and x represents a filled tile.

Step 0:

|x|x|_|_|_|_|_|_| |x|_|_|_|_|_|x|x| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|x| |_|_|x|_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|x|x|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| |x|x|_|_|_|_|_|_| |_|x|_|_|_|_|_|_| 

Step 1:

|x|x|_|_|_|_|_|_| |x|x|_|_|_|_|x|x| |_|_|_|_|_|_|x|x| |_|_|x|x|_|_|_|_| |_|_|x|x|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| |x|x|_|_|_|_|_|_| |x|x|_|_|_|_|_|_| 

Following the logic from step 0 to step 1, produce the grid that follows:

|_|_|_|x|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|x|x|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| |_|x|_|_|_|_|x|_| |x|x|_|_|_|_|x|x| |_|x|_|_|_|_|_|_| |x|x|_|_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|
