@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz I think banana is just a highly overloaded cluster of memes/jokes 😂 on another account the smaller Flash model (again likely using web search tool) was able to get the correct quote first try when including the part about the cucumber: "was there a quote from a book written in the 70s about a computer insulting another computer by telling them to eat a banana and a cucumber?"

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz I tried to play along with Gemini pro 3.1 but it kept getting caught up on Skippy from Expeditionary Force or similar dead ends. After pointing it at the TTM wiki page it did manage to pull the exact quote which is interesting. Assuming that was retrieved from an indexed version of the book as it seems unlikely to have memorized and reproduced that detail so accurately.
