In a recent viral video, a user identified as 'Elon World' put the capabilities of what he claims is ChatGPT 5 to the test, challenging the artificial intelligence to guess the precise weights of common household items. The video, which has garnered significant attention online, shows the user presenting objects such as a kitchen pan, an oil can, and a moka pot to the AI, then verifying its estimates with a digital scale. The AI's responses, delivered in a robotic, somewhat distorted voice, often fell outside the accurate range. Following these inaccuracies, the user humorously declared the AI's performance "no good" and proceeded to administer "punishments," including instructing the AI to engage in conversation with a carton of coconut water and a pet dog. The video offers a lighthearted look at the current boundaries of AI technology, particularly its limitations in tasks requiring direct sensory input, while entertaining viewers with its comedic premise. Commenters noted the AI's 'sore throat' and questioned its ability to 'know how much oil is in the can,' highlighting both the humor and the underlying technical considerations.
