Ah yes, the famous benchmark for all LLMs. I just tried your novel example with GPT-3.5 and it couldn't solve it either:

> After lunch, I like to snack on a juicy and crisp apple to satisfy my sweet tooth.

> In the fall, many families enjoy going to apple orchards to pick their own apples and make homemade apple pies.

> The new MacBook Pro features a powerful M1 chip and a stunning Retina display, making it the perfect tool for creative professionals who work with Apple software.

Eh, I think as "human evaluated" metrics go, it's a decent test of how well it can parse a reasonably complex sentence and reply accurately.

For me:

GPT4 3/3: I couldn't resist the temptation to take a bite of the juicy, red apple. Her favorite fruit was not a pear, nor an orange, but an apple. When asked what type of tree to plant in our garden, we unanimously agreed on an apple.

GPT3.5 2/3: "After a long day of hiking, I sat under the shade of an apple tree, relishing the sweet crunch of a freshly picked apple." "As autumn approached, the air filled with the irresistible aroma of warm apple pie baking in the oven, teasing my taste buds." "The teacher asked the students to name a fruit that starts with the letter 'A,' and the eager student proudly exclaimed, 'Apple!'"

Bard 0/3: Sure, here are three sentences ending in the word "apple": I ate an apple for breakfast.The apple tree is in bloom. The apple pie was delicious. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Bard definitely seems to fumble the hardest, it's pretty funny how it brackets the response too. "Here's three sentences ending with the word apple!" nope.
