Gregory's Server@atoponce it’s not garbage, it’s not intelligent. It has useful applications, but arithmetic isn’t one apparently. It’s not wholly surprising. LLMs model natural language. Arithmetic isn’t natural language.

@toriver @atoponce I’ve not used copilot, but I assume its numerical analysis output is not directly via the attention mechanism of an llm. Eg it could be using a llm to predict the context to data which is then fed into routines, or use llms to offer code suggestions. None of these things are llms directly doing maths. |
@ry_ @atoponce That would basically mean Copilot in Excel is nearly pointless, unless it does something smarter than the rest of Copilot for M365
