If they were testing that it'd work more often.

Other things you can ask that they're still clearly not optimizing for are ASCII art and directions between different locations. Complete fabrications 100% of the time.

Well, I definitely hope they aren't trying to teach LLMs directions between locations, given how idiotic use of compute and parameter space that would be. We already have excellent AIs for route planning. What they ought to optimize for is, of course, finally teaching them to say they don't know, or just automatically opting to call a route-planning API if the user asks for directions.
