You simply must try https://calcgpt.io, a calculator that uses a LLM to do math

@anke @neilk It's an AI. basic maths, like counting in this case, is something humans learn in kindergarten. OpenAI has been, in a totally Elon-Musk-esque style promising that they have AGI just around the corner (it's OpenAI's FSD fantasy). The media/industry presents ChatGPT as a tool that can reason, e.g. develop software. Then it stands to argue that it can count. One-off errors are ugly and common. And obviously, it cannot do basic maths. Not even stuff some animals sometime manage. @neilk If you scroll down a bit, there's an artist's statement explaining. (also written by ChatGPT, lol) @neilk @neilk @isleofmandan I asked a local llm to add up the tally of a few books I wanted to buy and it kept getting the figures wrong. @neilk Even setting "craziness of the answer" to zero doesn't help. Still getting nonsensical answers to very basic math. @neilk student who didn't revise for their end of year maths exam and has to fudge the answers simulator @angiebaby @neilk WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT???????? This can't be real!!!!!!!! @neilk Not 15, not 20, no let's just completely off the rails, yeah buddy! 🤣 @neilk and if you want a calculator that works on arrays (sorry no GPT): @neilk @neilk @neilk @platypusparent I want to see every CEO who uses AI as an excuse to cut staff numbers FORCED to use this abomination to do their quarterly accounts. Make them eat their own dog food, still in the can. @cstross @neilk @platypusparent To paraphrase one of my dad's favorite jokes: When you ask bookkeepers what 1+1+1+1 is they'll say, "4". When you ask accountants, they'll say, "What do you want it to be? 13? Sure I can do that." @neilk my teenagers are quite in love with ChatGPT. Unsurprising, considering it does their homework. I showed them CalcGPT, and it looks like it got them thinking at least a little… @neilk i give it anything and it just responds with the html for a cloudflare captcha page. brilliant xD @neilk @neilk Seems legit! <remembers that Copilot in Excel is already a thing> :blobcat_thisisfine: @neilk We should write a web browser where the javascript engine is emulated by chatgpt. Not to write the engine code, but to interpret the actual javascript code from webpages. |
@neilk Why would anyone do that. Basic maths is implemented in programming languages...
