AI is getting pretty good

42 out of 53 models said to walk to the carwash.

And yet the best models outdid humans at this "car wash test." Humans got it right only 71.5% of the time.

That 71.5% is still a higher success rate than 48 out of 53 models tested. Only the five 10/10 models and the two 8/10 models outperform the average human. Everything below GPT-5 performs worse than 10,000 people given two buttons and no time to think.
