doesnt seem unreasonable.

These faux questions always have a valid interpretation that the asker doesn't admit (for some reason). The model is then castigated for not making an opinionated choice

  • That’s not what’s happening.

    The question is revealing that the model has a model of language but not of reality. It knows what words go together, but not real-world concepts.

    • This. LLMs are marketed on the false premise of all knowledge, intelligence and wisdom being possible to be encoded in language only.

  • As a test, explaining away peculiar answers by imagining unlikely outlier scenarios is not the counter you seem to think it is.

    For most of them, we’d worry that a human answerer using maximum effort to produce the same outcome was having a stroke.
