Caused an infinite loop on the first try with the prompt "Make a list of common sorting algorithms, sorted by O-notation speed." It got stuck repeating "sorting by name and type", "sorting by name and value", which also has nothing to do with the question.

(Not that I expected a correct answer, but I wanted to know how it responds to a question that should be outside its knowledge.)

How would you solve this problem given the training set and the existing training methods?

How would a human (maybe a 5th grader?) solve this?

A human child would just say “I don’t know”.

		Indeed. The child applied intelligence. The LLM has none, so it relies upon regurgitating what it's ingested, and unsurisingly that includes very little programming Q&A with young children. It has no record of not knowing the answer, and so cannot give this correct response.
