[–] Pamasich@kbin.earth 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I just asked ChatGPT too (your exact prompt there) and it did give me the correct solution.

  1. Take the child over
  2. Go back alone
  3. Take the candy over
  4. Bring the child back
  5. Take the priest over
  6. Go back alone
  7. Take the child over again

It didn't comment on moral concerns, though it did applaud itself for keeping the priest and the child separated without elaborating on why.

I'm quite sure chatgpt can answer this because this is a well known puzzle. The one I knew of was an alligator or some dangerous animals, and the priest.
