Does Mathway use some kind of NN?

#Mathway was around long before #NeuralNetworks became popular (2002 !!) therefore I doubt it ...

.. is what I would like to say..

But everyone claims it is a "#chat #ai" without #source

#copypasta reports be boppin'

Also it depends what you deem "neuralnetwork"

A uneducated mind can be impressed with a few #OR , #XOR and #logicgates

Ppl love to think #santa is real too /s

@alceawisteria The thing is, I was checking some implicit differentiation equations this morning and the machine was inverting the signs in the solutions. All of them. And I have no idea why (I can't check how did it reach that conclusion because, surprise surprise, you need to pay for that which is absolute BS but whatever).

And I'm 100% sure this is wrong because I checked some exercises that had a solution and Mathway was still insisting in inverting the signs for whatever reason. Which makes me suspect it's either broken at implicit differentiation, or threre is a NN behind that hasn't been properly trained for this, or something is wrong with it.

Is there a competetive service to check ?

Or maybe bother the SO ppl ? ( )

Your description makes it seem less likely that a trained AI is at work, and more likely that it is "following paths"

@alceawisteria I checked with WA. And WA gets it right while Mathway inverts the signs.

Last one is WA's answer, which is the right answer. Mathway's is the same, but with inverted signs. I have no idea why it does this but it does this with some of them while others it gives you the right answer.
