🚨 BREAKING AI Research: Adding "cats sleep most of their lives" to math problems breaks advanced AI reasoning models

New study shows how a single irrelevant sentence can make GPT-o1, DeepSeek R1, and other "reasoning" AIs 3x more likely to get math problems wrong.

Key findings:

• Simple triggers like cat facts systematically confuse AI reasoning 
• Works across multiple state-of-the-art models
• Also causes massive computational slowdowns 
• Reveals critical security vulnerabilities

This isn't just a quirky bug - it exposes fundamental fragilities in AI systems being deployed for critical applications in finance, healthcare, and law.

The age of "prompt injection" attacks on reasoning AI has begun.
