I came across a haunting fanfic (a short poem) that strongly implies (without saying it explicitly) that a certain fictional character was Jack the Ripper. I was curious if this allusion could be detected by an AI, and asked 3 of them (ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini) to analyse the poem and note any hidden meanings. While their analysis was detailed and mostly on point, none of them guessed it! Moreover, even after I revealed the secret, Copilot asked if this interpretation could be intentional or accidental. Even though it is blindingly obvious to any reader who's into Jack the Ripper lore. (The other two agreed right away that it was brilliant and absolutely fitting.)
It's like what I had posted a while ago, about puns that AI can't understand. I wonder when they will be able to look deeper into the context and put all the clues together...?
On the positive side, with the help of Copilot's clarifying questions (it can never stop a conversation by itself, provoking the user to keep chatting ;) I came up with a satisfying ending/resolution of the story, and ChatGPT even wrote a couple of snippets for me. I guess it can be used to scratch an itch, if you can't find a fanfic you want to read... The problem is, you need to know exactly what to write, with all the twists... whenever I asked to write something from a vague prompt, the results were rather boring.
