I tried o3, instant-5.3, Opus 3, and haiku 4.5, and couldn't get them to give bad answers to the couch: stairs vs elevator question. Is there a specific wording you used?

That's an example the LLM came up with itself while analyzing its failed car wash walk/drive answer, it's not OP's question.

What would be a bad answer to stairs/elevator question?

You can’t get the couch into the elevator, typically. Trust me, I tried.

Couch depending. I will persist in trying every time this comes up.

Well if it's one of those hospital elevators that can take a bed with a patient, you probably could. Or if it's a small 2 seater sofa. The question isn't as dumb as it sounds at first, and a human would definitely ask a follow up question.

You can take a mattress up an elevator though (1). Some couches might fit in some elevators.
