Yup, having multiple people reporting on twitter the same bogus answer and then the answer being mysteriously correct the day after with the same prompt is a very suspicious pattern, especially considering that it already happened multiple times.
Also, i just broke GPT-4 again with just a slightly different prompt:
Sally (a girl) has k brothers. Each brother has j-1 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have?
Answer (wrong):
Given that Sally has k
brothers and each of her brothers has j-1
sisters, we can use this information to find out how many sisters Sally has.
If each of Sally’s brothers has j-1
sisters, then j
represents the total number of girls in the family (because each brother counts all the sisters in the family, excluding themselves).
Since Sally is included in the count of j
, the number of Sally’s sisters would be j-1
.
So, Sally has j-1
sisters.
I can confirm that this stereotype is almost nonexistent in Europe (at least in Italy and France, not sure about other countries). No one in Italy would immediately associate singing in the opera or playing the organ with being gay. The only classical music-related thing that can be considered stereotypically gay even in Europe is being a male ballet dancer.
