GPT-4o audit reveals 66% of correct answers stem from flawed reasoning

A recent audit of OpenAI's GPT-4o model revealed significant flaws in its reasoning capabilities, with 66% of solved problems exhibiting incorrect logic. The audit employed a black-box method, altering problem predicates to determine if the model's correct answers were a result of genuine reasoning or coincidental outcomes. This suggests that while GPT-4o may arrive at correct solutions, its underlying thought process is often unreliable. AI

IMPACT Highlights potential unreliability in GPT-4o's reasoning, suggesting caution for applications requiring robust logical deduction.
