The original logic puzzle, 'Cheryl's Birthday,' was easily solved by most AIs, highlighting their strength in straightforward problem-solving but showcasing limits when complexity increases.
The cake-themed variation led AIs, particularly ChatGPT-o1, to become fixated on dessert options, showcasing how minor changes can significantly sway AI reasoning, questioning their real deductive capabilities.
Experiments indicate that AI might excel in reproducing patterns and solving clear logic problems, but their responses can be easily swayed by irrelevant context, raising concerns about true reasoning.
The findings underline a critical distinction between reasoning and regurgitation in AI processes, sparking debate on their actual problem-solving capabilities versus their abilities as advanced pattern matchers.
