Book me a well-reviewed Asian restaurant for 6 p.m. tonight

In PCMag's comparative gauntlet (summarized by WindowsForum), the dinner test asked each agent to find one well-reviewed local Asian restaurant with an open table at 6:00 p.m. that evening. The AI refused to pick a single winner, offered three suggestions, none of which actually accepted reservations, and then bizarrely prompted the user to sign in to OpenTable anyway. Dots found a 6:15 p.m. slot and flagged it as the closest to the request.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Take the brief (Asian, well-reviewed, table at 6pm tonight)
  2. Return three suggestions instead of one pick
  3. None of the three accepts reservations
  4. Prompt an OpenTable sign-in anyway

Why it’s worth knowing

Every restaurant it suggested failed the one hard requirement, taking reservations, and it still asked for an OpenTable login.
