Neil KandalgaonkarYou simply must try https://calcgpt.io, a calculator that uses a LLM to do math
This is by Calvin Liang, who has many other projects at https://calvin.sh .
Anke@neilk Why would anyone do that. Basic maths is implemented in programming languages...

Andreas K@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.

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

You can even ask ChatGPT "Would a large language model be good for doing arithmetic?" and it'll reply with 300 words laughing at you.

telles@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.
Michael 🏳️🌈@neilk What are numbers good for anyway.

j_bertolotti@neilk Even setting "craziness of the answer" to zero doesn't help. Still getting nonsensical answers to very basic math.

I love how it doesnt capture even the basic form of arithmetic. The results shouldnt ever have symbols in them but when you put a thing that looks like an output as an input its like "hmm something is missing. ..."

It's cool. And the be honest, I'm not sure if it answered my query or not.
Thom.@neilk model hasn't been trained for math so 🤪

Ah this is the future they talk about so enthusiastically. Seems reasonable to me, it goes hand in hand with the lies that are now truth

Preston von Gabbleduck@neilk This is joyful comedy, thank you. I think so far this is my favourite.

Kotes@neilk Nice Job!
Charlie Stross@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.
ScottMGS@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…

If I felt like wasting electricity, I could just turn on my lights... and then leave them on for days before approaching the amount used by a single of these calculations.

藤井太洋, Taiyo Fujii@neilk thank you, my 9 yos boy got laughed and played for 100 times.
robcornelius@neilk division by zero is fun
@neilk Best I’ve had so far:
100 DIVIDE -25 = 400
100 DIVIDE -25 = 400
Huriken@neilk Every scientist should use this product! Don't like the result? Just hit "Regenerate" until you get the result you desire. What a blessing.

Laura Orchid@neilk why would a developer made this? Computers should be able to do math from the get go 🙃
