alt Hacker NewsMy answer was (for which it did zero thinking and answered near-instantaneously):
"Drive. You're going there to use water and machinery that require the car to be present. The question answers itself."
I tried it 3 more times with extended thinking explicitly off:
"Drive. You're going to a car wash."
"Drive. You're washing the car, not yourself."
"Drive. You're washing the car — it needs to be there."
Guess they're serving you the dumb version.

I got this: Drive. Getting the car wet while walking there defeats the purpose.
Gotta keep the car dry on the way!

Same, I haven't been able to get gemini or claude to tell me to walk a single time and I've even tried changing the distance in the prompt, etc.

I guess I'm getting the dumb one too. I just got this response:
> Walk — it's only 50 meters, which is less than a minute on foot. Driving that distance to a car wash would also be a bit counterproductive, since you'd just be getting the car dirty again on the way there (even if only slightly). Lace up and stroll over!
