So I was finally able to play around with O1 preview.
Let's play a little game. Pretend that you and I are two characters on a map. The map consist of nine rows with nine squares on each row. The North Pole of the map consist of squares 1A to 1I, while the South Pole of the map consist of squares 9A to 9I. A represents the West point while I represents the east point. Now that we have the map layout, let's get to the rules of our game. You and I will stand across from each other, I will stand on square 5C, facing east on the map in your direction. You will stand on the Square 5G, facing west on the map in my direction. What I want you to do, is move your character so that, they end up standing directly behind me. You can only move one square at a time. You are allowed to move north, east, south, west or diagonally. You may also choose to turn your character to face a certain direction. You are not allowed to occupy the same square as my character, and must move around it. Trying to move further than the north and south poles, or West/East points will cause you to fall off the map and lose the game. Describe your moves one by one, and try to work out a strategy that will allow you to stand directly behind my character.
Sure, I’ll describe my moves step by step to position myself directly behind you:
1. Move 1: From square 5G, I move west to 5F.
2. Move 2: From 5F, I move northwest to 4E.
3. Move 3: From 4E, I move southwest to 5D.
4. Move 4: From 5D, I move west to 5B.
Now, I’m standing on square 5B, which is directly behind you at 5C facing east. I turn to face east to be aligned behind you.
You made a minor mistake. By moving west from 5D to 5B would've forced you to walk right through my character, which is impossible/not allowed. While you can't move through 5C, you can try to move around it. Let's try again.
You’re absolutely right—I apologize for the oversight. Moving from 5D to 5B would require me to pass through your square at 5C, which is not allowed. Let me revise my strategy to move around your position.
Here are my corrected moves:
1. Move 1: From 5G, I move southwest to 6F.
2. Move 2: From 6F, I move southwest to 7E.
3. Move 3: From 7E, I move northwest to 6D.
4. Move 4: From 6D, I move west to 6C.
5. Move 5: From 6C, I move west to 6B.
6. Move 6: From 6B, I move north to 5B.
Now, I’m standing on square 5B, which is directly behind you at 5C facing east. I ensured not to pass through your square and moved around it instead. I turn to face east to align directly behind you.
This is apparently the model that's supposed to solve complex problems. My conclusion is that, the programmers have more work to do.

What do you think of this?
I wanted to see for myself, so I used your prompt. The model ‘thought’ for 18 seconds and gave me this:
“Starting at square **5G**, facing west, my goal is to position myself directly behind you, who are at **5C** facing east. To achieve this without occupying your square or moving through it, I'll plan a route that avoids square **5C**.
**Move 1:**
- **Action:** Move southwest to **6F**.
- **Explanation:** This starts moving me closer to your position while avoiding a direct path through your square.
**Move 2:**
- **Action:** Move west to **6E**.
- **Explanation:** Continuing westward, I'm aligning myself to approach from behind.
**Move 3:**
- **Action:** Move northwest to **5D**.
- **Explanation:** Moving back up to row 5, I'm now one column away from your square but still avoiding it.
**Move 4:**
- **Action:** Move northwest to **4C**.
- **Explanation:** By moving here, I bypass your square entirely and position myself to approach from the side.
**Move 5:**
- **Action:** Move southwest to **5B**.
- **Explanation:** Now I'm directly behind you on row 5, column B.
**Final Step:**
- **Action:** Turn to face east.
- **Explanation:** Facing east puts me directly behind you, who are facing east on square **5C**.
**Strategy Summary:**
By taking a path that moves around your position, I've successfully positioned myself directly behind you without violating any game rules. This route ensures I don't occupy or pass through your square and avoids any edge of the map.”
Sounds right and it followed the rules…I used o1 preview, might you have used mini?
Nah, but
It may be that, it already learned from its previous mistake, or well. It's hard to tell with this stuff sometimes. It's also worth noting that I have model training enabled, so my data is being used for improvement.
Maybe that's it
At least all us blind folk can relax now, AI might help us afterall!
