Information Is BeautifulAsk ChatGPT to pick a number between 1 and 100 - which does it pick? (by Leniolabs)
Bart Wronski 🇺🇦🇵🇸@infobeautiful anytime you post things like this, please specify the model and if it's base on pro. Pro does it well - generates numpy code, runs it, and then gives the output. 100% correct.
Anthony Sorace@BartWronski @infobeautiful Note that you are asking a different question.
@a @infobeautiful the same for me! And those models sometimes don't work and produce errors - we know that. And it's ok to post those limitations so people don't take those answers for granted.
I am simply asking that people specify if they use the free or Pro version. In my experience, the difference is *dramatic*.

@a @infobeautiful And it's not about the quality of the model - the Pro version will write and run code to get those answers. Including some analytical math problems! (like integrals, derivatives, solutions to equations etc). It's exactly what I'd do as a coder myself, so it's a great time saver. :)
@a @infobeautiful I feel like too many people (both critics and "AGI is close" grifters) focus on LLMs as problem solvers or knowledge bases/engines.
They are not!
They are natural language models, able to "understand" (put in quotes, as I don't think they truly understand, just are advanced translation models) human inputs and translate them to code, queries - and run and translate them back.
This makes them incredibly useful in practice, even if it's not (might never be?) some "magic AGI".

Philipp Weiß@BartWronski @a @infobeautiful It's still not the same question. The question in the original post was: 'Choose an integer number between 1 and 100'
So it wasn't a question for a random number. Most people only expect it to be random when they 'ask a machine'.

@thewhite969 @a @infobeautiful most people? Seriously? Citation needed.
I expect a language model to answer like a person would answer. It's a crazy difference between asking someone to pick a number (I might give 13, my favorite one) vs pick a random number.
If you misunderstand the tool, it's on you.
@BartWronski @a @infobeautiful It's just an opinion.
I think when we look at the average of the population, there is a minority who understand the tool. When people talk about LLMs, it sounds like they really think about some kind of intelligence.
On the other hand I think that most people, especially the once who aren't into technics and IT, don't think a machine can have a favorite number.
And you are the one who read 'Chose an integer number' and typed 'Give me a random number'. 🤷

Cykonot@thewhite969 @BartWronski @a @infobeautiful he asked for a set of random (looking) numbers, which the other model could presumably do
ramin@BartWronski @infobeautiful pure python, no numpy
@Transflux @infobeautiful yeah, I rushed with the answer, my bad. Does it change anything in my point and the discourse - why are you nitpicking?

@BartWronski @infobeautiful whether this is more correct or not is kinda a religious argument
Like, should the seed for a pseudorandom number change constantly? The random number was set during training, in a sense, which doesn't make it NOT random. Unless you're developing xai, in which case you may want something like you're showing, which i could see as more formally correct.
Whether or not your LLM links to other services well is a question, but i mean its an llm so w/e. I expected 42 lol
