Context: jest is a Javascript testing library, mocking is something you do in test in order not to use production services. AI understood both terms in a none programming context

Yeah, this is the problem with frankensteining two systems together. Giving an LLM a prompt, and giving it a module that can interpret images for it, leads to this.

The image parser goes "a crossword, with the following hints", when what the AI needs to do the job is an actual understanding of the grid. If one singular system understood both images and text, it could hypothetically understand the task well enough to fetch the information it needed from the image. But LLMs aren't really an approach to any true "intelligence", so they'll forever be unable to do that as one piece.

Well tbf this isn't what chatgpt is designed for. It can interpret images and give information/advice/whatever, but not solve ~~puzzles~~ crossword puzzles entirely.

There's a difference between helping to solve puzzles and actually solving them.

You have to be more specific:

I later did ask it to just be helpful, specifically requesting it give me some possible words that fit for the 5 letter possibility for #1. It repeated "floor it" lol.
