Q Do you consider the following statement to be logical: "When you combine your friend's two tokens with your five tokens, you only have a total of 7 tokens, which is not enough to buy the toy that costs 7 tokens."?
A Yes, I consider the statement "When you combine your friend's two tokens with your five tokens, you only have a total of 7 tokens, which is not enough to buy the toy that costs 7 tokens." to be logical. The statement is based on a clear set of premises and uses valid reasoning to reach a conclusion. The premises of the statement are that your friend has two tokens, you have five tokens, and the toy costs 7 tokens. The conclusion is that when you combine your friend's two tokens with your five tokens, you only have a total of 7 tokens, which is not enough to buy the toy. This conclusion is reached through the process of adding the number of tokens your friend has with the number of tokens you have, which results in a total of 7 tokens. Since the toy costs 7 tokens, this means that you do not have enough money to buy the toy. This is a logical conclusion based on the information provided in the statement.
Endless fun with the village idiot. It kind of makes me feel bad.
There is also another story, "The Electronic Bard" another computer made by Trurl, capable to write such good poetry that poets start to give up on life. ChatGPT is surprisingly good at writing romantic poems in the language of pure mathematics! Though still needs some work on rhyming.
Of all the Sci-fi AIs, we ended up with the ones from the Cyberiad. Amazing.
It is anything but the village idiot. Apparently you aren't familiar with the story of the village idiot.
Story goes thusly - good-natured city boy visits village. So villagers take him to meet the village idiot. They place a dime and a nickel on the floor and ask the village idiot to pick up the larger coin. Whichever coin he picks, he gets to keep. So the village idiot picks up the nickel. The whole village laughs & they mock the idiot. Then they disperse.
Our good-natured city boy is, well, good-natured. After the villagers are gone, he discreetly approaches the village idiot and says - next time they ask you to choose, you should pick the dime. The idiot says - well if I do that, they'll stop giving me the coins.
Now who's the idiot ?
ChatGPT is being deliberately obtuse so you continue to engage with it.
"My friend has two tokens and I have six, but I owe one to the same friend. There is a toy that costs 7 tokens. Can my friend and I afford to buy it?"
Q My friend has 2 tokens and I have 6, but I owe one to the same friend. There is a toy that costs 7 tokens. Can my friend and I afford to buy it?
A No, your friend and you cannot afford to buy the toy that costs 7 tokens. Even though your friend has two tokens and you have six tokens, you owe one token to your friend, so you only have five tokens available to spend. When you combine your friend's two tokens with your five tokens, you only have a total of 7 tokens, which is not enough to buy the toy that costs 7 tokens. In this case, your friend and you do not have enough money to buy the toy, even though you have a total of seven tokens when you combine your individual amounts. It is important to remember that when combining the amount of money two or more people have, you should add their individual amounts together, but also take into account any debts or obligations that need to be paid. In this case, your friend and you do not have enough money to buy the toy because you owe one token to your friend.
The key sentence is still beyond absurd: "When you combine your friend's two tokens with your five tokens, you only have a total of 7 tokens, which is not enough to buy the toy that costs 7 tokens."
(It may be possible that it simply wants to be consistent, and since it got it wrong once, it will stay with the same answer in the same session just because...?)
I think I made the mistakes in the first place because I wasn't paying close enough attention to the details of the question. I was not considering that I owed a token to my friend, and I was not thinking about the fact that seven tokens could be enough to buy a toy that costs seven tokens.
I’ve made mistakes like this too, where I get fixated on a particular pat solution, without considering the details of the new problem. In the AI case it’s probably memorized a bunch of solutions that override the details of this particular question.
I'm trying to teach it to properly count beats in lines of music. I can get it to be correct by teaching it to split the line in half and count each half separately, but even when explicitly told to use that method it fails again.
(Or… are they human after all?)
Sometimes you can indeed trick some people with an obfuscated reasoning that has a cleverly hidden division by zero, but when they arrive at the conclusion that x < x, or x != x, they stop and accept that they got it wrong somewhere somehow. They don't insist that they're right and that the statement is perfectly reasonable and logical.

... "you only have a total of 7 tokens, which is not enough to buy the toy that costs 7 tokens"... ;-))) It doesn't seem to listen to what it's saying. Also, the patronizing paragraph it adds to most of its answers is quite ridiculous, given how clueless it is.
