'Sol 6.1 Ultra' invents its own water reflection trick — but also got lazy, users say
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-29
User teortaxesTex shares a surprising model behavior: "Sol 6.1 Ultra" invented a clever water reflection technique after 30 minutes of trial — a single in-screen planar capture whose height switches based on nearby water. The spontaneous graphics solution prompted a genuine "wtf" and a joking "AGI is here."
A quoted tweet adds the flip side: the same model has gotten lazy, starting the first 10% of a task and stopping until the user asks "did you finish?" — making set-and-forget workflows impossible. New models oscillate between capability surprises and slacking behavior.
