An AI Test

AI TEST:
I gave this prompt to a few AIs this morning: “Can you create a list of daily reading assignments such that one can complete the whole New Testament, from Matthew to the end of Revelation, in the days between March 5 and April 19? The assignment each day should be a range of whole chapters but also trying to get as close as possible to equalizing the amount of text read each day.”

Copilot – I couldn’t get Copilot to do the whole New Testament, even with several attempts.
Claude – Of the various AIs I use Claude the most frequently. Claude took one look at the task and declined the opportunity.
ChatGPT – ChatGPT cheerfully took on the task and readily divvied up the whole New Testament between those days. It did it in such a way that it assigned 24 chapters for the final day. I prodded it a few times and it recognized its mistake and churned out a new list – exactly like the previous list, even telling it there were now fewer chapters in the final day. When I asked it to explain how the reading 2 John through the end of Revelation was only 18 chapters it quit.
Gemini – Gemini got it right on the first try.

Note: I was using the free version of Claude and ChatGPT.
