I found ChatGPT also struggled with colour detection when solving Wordle, despite my advice to use any tools. I had to tell it.


ChatGPT regularly "forgets" it can run code, visit urls, and generate images. Once it decides it can't do something there seems to be no way to convince it otherwise, even if it did the things earlier in the same chat.

It told me that "image generation is disabled right now". So I tested in another chat and it was fine. I mentioned that in the broken conversation and it said that "it's only disabled in this chat". I went back to the message before it claimed it was disabled and resent it. It worked. I somewhat miss the days where it would just believe anything you told it, even if I was completely wrong.


I tried to get GPT to play Wordle when Agent launched, but it was banned from the NYT and it had to play a knock-off for me instead.
