ChatGPT (again) designs a neo-angle corner shower stall

September 18, 2026

Model: GPT-5.6 Sol

I am designing a neo-angle corner shower stall that must fit within a 3ft x 3ft area. Because it's in the corner, two of the walls will be the full 36 inches. How wide should the remaining walls and the door be, if they are of equal size?

Each of the two short walls and the door should be 21.09 inches wide.

S=√2(36−S)

S=36(2−√2)≈21.09"

That's it. That's the conversation. Obviously much smarter than GPT-4.
