    Laugh as business spend billions on software that doesn’t work. Cry as those same businesses fire staff to cover the cost of broken software.

    Like, they can’t even run pass maths tests or run a vending machine business. How do you expect one or a suite of them to manage your product lifecycle?

      openai for example claims chatgpt can perform close to or above phd level math. so your claim about it not passing math tests isn’t really correct.

        so your claim about it not passing math tests isn’t really correct.

        You base this statement on claims from the company that’s trying to sell the product. Maybe try to make chatgpt do some sums first before believing these claims.

        openai for example claims

        Claiming something doesn’t make it true. If it were true. It wouldn’t be a claim it would be a statement of fact which is directly opposed to the point of marketing.

        Seeing as you don’t support your claim that it can do permanent head damage maths, I will support my statement of they suck at maths.

        openai … claims

        so your claim … isn’t really correct

        A company selling a product made an unsubstantiated claim to market their product… Therefore any contradictory claim is assumed to be false?

        If you think this passes for sound logic then I’m sure whatever Chat-GPT can do passes for acceptable math to you.

        lol, sorry…the company selling a product made an outlandish claim and you believe it? I got a bridge to sell you!

        I think the fundamental problem is that you haven’t actually used these tools enough to see that the companies peddling them are snake oil salesmen. Nothing they say is true, they’re completely full of shit, and they’re terrified they’re not going to make any of the money they promised their investors they would make.

        And like…if you think about it for a moment it would make sense, given how these tools work, that they can’t do much in the way of reasoning. They just get better and better at replicating the language they’re supposed to mimic, which sometimes even carries the right content! Wow! But that’s only a secondary effect, right?

        That is a testable claim. I just had it calculate the force of gravity between 2 objects and it was wrong by virtue of rounding incorrectly. That’s like highschool level math.

            Why should we have to pay extra for a computer to do maths correctly? That is basic functionality of a computer.

            Chatgpt, as made available by the first search result for “chatgpt.” I chose this approach to match your claim you chose to repeat without verification.

            I am not going to cross shop stochastic regressions with an English LUT in order to find one that works better for math just to appease your suspiciously wheel ladened goal post.

              ok. but the free models are dumber than pro version. so chatgpt isn’t defined by its base model.

              idc if you buy chatgpt sub or not. im just asking tech questions here

        The math lie was a lie. It turned out that it’s some guy who did all the job. You’ve been lied to like every other sucker.
