Among the most revolutionary advancements in this field is ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI, which has captivated the world with its ability to understand and generate human-like text.

This groundbreaking innovation not only heralds a new era in human-computer interaction but also challenges our preconceived notions of creativity, intelligence, and the limits of machine learning.

As we stand on the brink of this new digital dawn, it’s essential to delve deeper into the implications, capabilities, and potential future of ChatGPT and AI at large. From transforming customer service and education to reshaping content creation and beyond, these technologies promise to redefine our world.

Recently I was wonering wheter the popular Chat GPT can solve a simple challenge, part of an IQ test and the results were a bit shocking.

Here is the question I asked Chat GPT:

Which number logically follows this series?

7 9 5 11 ; 4 15 12 7 ; 13 8 11 ?

Here is what Chat GPT replied:

“To determine the number that logically follows in the series you’ve given, let’s first attempt to discern a pattern or rule within each group of numbers. The series is:

7, 9, 5, 11
4, 15, 12, 7
13, 8, 11, ?

One approach to identify a pattern is to examine the relationships between the numbers within each group. Let’s analyze the differences between successive numbers in each group:

For the first group (7, 9, 5, 11), the differences are +2, -4, +6.
For the second group (4, 15, 12, 7), the differences are +11, -3, -5.
For the third group (13, 8, 11), so far, the differences are -5, +3.

If we look at the pattern of differences, there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward arithmetic progression within each group or a simple pattern that applies across the groups. Given the differences within the groups seem unique to each, let’s consider another approach.

Considering another pattern could involve looking at each position in the groups and comparing them:

The first numbers in each group are 7, 4, and 13.
The second numbers are 9, 15, and 8.
The third numbers are 5, 12, and 11.
The fourth numbers are 11, 7, and ?.

If we observe the series with an alternative perspective such as positional relationships, mathematical operations between the numbers, or another non-linear pattern, it’s essential to look for any commonalities or rules that could apply. However, without a clear, consistent pattern emerging from the differences or the positions, we might need to look into more abstract relationships or consider if there’s a pattern that involves operations beyond simple arithmetic differences.

Given the variety in operations and the lack of a clear, consistent pattern from the initial analysis, let’s try a different approach that could potentially reveal a pattern:

One possibility is looking for a pattern that involves alternating operations or a set of rules that apply differently to each sequence. Yet, with the given numbers and without additional context or a clear rule linking the sequences, identifying the exact next number with certainty requires a bit more information or a specific rule that governs the sequences.

Based on the information provided and the initial analysis, it’s challenging to definitively determine the next number in the series without identifying a clear, consistent pattern or rule across the groups of numbers. If there’s a specific pattern or rule intended for this sequence that hasn’t been disclosed, that could significantly aid in determining the logical follow-up number.“
