@Anke @neilk Because it's funny.

@anke because this is the future of inteligence

@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.

@anke @neilk But the usual maths in programming languages don't consume so much energy. Even if implemented in Brainf*ck. We must consume energy. For economic growth or something. /s

@anke @neilk because people are actually doing this. This is pointing out how dumb it is to use llms to do math

@Anke @neilk the presence of a "regenerate" button tells me this is made as a joke.

@neilk If you scroll down a bit, there's an artist's statement explaining. (also written by ChatGPT, lol)

@Anke @neilk People will do it anyway. Hearing that AI is supposed to be so great, they'll use it uncritically like they do Google's search box. People will use what they have to hand.
