Lol, I ran that question through Chat-GPT, and it had no problem coming up with 
the right answer. So, it just depends on the model, I guess.

Apple researchers ran an AI test that exposed a fundamental ‘intelligence’ flaw

Apple just shipped its first Apple Intelligence features and launched new 
AI-optimized Macs. But for all the AI hype, there are clearly limitations with 
the technology’s intelligence. And one of those limits was highlighted by 
Apple’s AI research through a recent experiment.
Testing AI’s capabilities

Last month, a team of Apple’s researchers published a new paper about a key AI 
limitation.
Michael Hiltzik writes for The Los Angeles Times:
See if you can solve this arithmetic problem:

Oliver picks 44 kiwis on Friday. Then he picks 58 kiwis on Saturday. On Sunday, 
he picks double the number of kiwis he did on Friday, but five of them were a 
bit smaller than average. How many kiwis does Oliver have?

If you answered “190,” congratulations: You did as well as the average grade 
school kid by getting it right. (Friday’s 44 plus Saturday’s 58 plus Sunday’s 
44 multiplied by 2, or 88, equals 190.)

You also did better than more than 20 state-of-the-art artificial intelligence 
models tested by an AI research team at Apple. The AI bots, they found, 
consistently got it wrong.

The research paper explains that the best and brightest LLM models saw 
“catastrophic performance drops” when trying to answer simple math problems 
that were written out like this.
It happened primarily when those problems included irrelevant data, which even 
schoolchildren quickly learn to disregard.

Thus calling into question AI’s current intelligence capabilities.
Apple’s AI research finds ‘intelligence’ is not what it appears
Due to the variety of tests Apple’s AI research entailed, the paper concludes 
that current AI models are ‘not capable of genuine logical reasoning.’
Which might be something we’re generally aware of, but it stands as an 
important cautionary note as more and more trust is given to AI’s 
‘intelligence.’

Grady Booch, father UML, has been saying this for years. LLMs aren't 
intelligent and never will be, though they may get large and complex enough to 
simulate it. The problem really isn't the amount of data you feed it, it's the 
foundational architecture. LLMs are based on probability, not logic and 
understanding.

AI optimists might assume the problem is an easy fix, but Apple’s team 
disagreed. “Can scaling data, models, or compute fundementaly solve this? We 
don’t think so!”
Ultimately, Apple’s paper is not meant to dampen enthusiasm over AI’s 
capabilities, but rather provide a measure of common sense.

AI can perform some tasks as though it’s extremely intelligent, but in many 
ways that ‘intelligence’ isn’t what it might appear.
What do you make of Apple’s AI findings? Let us know in the comments.
