Over time I've saved many screenshots of #AI #slop #aiSlop stuffing up #Mathematics big time, and on occasion I've had cause to reshare them, and at times I have cursed that I can only attach 4 pics per post. Then I realised, what am I worried about - just post them all in a thread and then I can just link to the thread (or individual screenshots), and can add to it as more come up πŸ™‚ P.S. feel free to reply with more

I hereby present to you, AI's greatest 5hits...

@SmartmanApps i like this one exactly, as it shows, contrary to popular belief, that AI is not good at math, but it "understands" the meaning of words

I think the 1=0 one is the killer for that. It states, in words, the actual correct thing to do, then fails to do it on both sides almost every single time. If it had just done what it said it was going to do, it would've arrived at the right solution, but it didn't, and concludes that 1=0 πŸ˜‚

According to AI, all those schools are teaching it wrong. But it took your correction well, checked its work, and apologized.

You appeared to soften the blow by saying it had the spirit. What spirit are you referring to?

"According to AI, all those schools are teaching it wrong" - it also thinks all schools are teaching order of operations wrong

"You appeared to soften the blow by saying it had the spirit" - not me, I never use AI! πŸ˜‚ All my screenshots come from other people.

Oh, I see. You were not giving AI any encouraging words. That was someone else. I don't blame you, though, since AI is just a machine and has no feelings, so why bother, other than to add to the comedic effect?
