>Hand feed them every detail for an extremely simple task like comparing two lists

You believe 57 words are "each and every detail", and that "produce two full, exhaustive lists of items out of your blackbox inner conceptspace/fetch those from the web" are "extremely simple tasks"?

Your ignorance of how complex these problems are misleads you into believing there's nothing to it. You are trying to supply an abstraction to a system that requires a concrete. You do not even realize your abstraction is an abstraction. Try learning programming.

Sure they are. I'm not interested in how difficult this is for a LLM. This is not the question. Go out there, get the information. That this is hard for a LLM proves the point: They are surprisingly bad at some simple tasks.

I started programming in the early 1980's.

Again, your own inability to look past your personal abstractions ("just do the thing, it's literally one step dude") is what makes it feel simple. You ever do that "instruct someone to make coffee" exercise when you started out? What you're doing is saying "just make the coffee", refusing to decompose the problen any further, and then complaining that the other person is bad at following instructions.
