We knew, but the proof is nice.

"Apple just proved that AI models cannot do math. Not advanced math. Grade school math. The kind a 10-year-old solves"

The guess-the-next-words machines don’t actually understand anything.

@davidaugust interesting. Had to ask. Already fixed?

@flq yes, many systems have tools and/or abilities built in to take over basic math operations that simpler LLMs failed at.

The salient and enduring issue, I think, is that the spin and marketing of LLMs as "understanding," "thinking" or "intelligent" (as those words typical meanings suggest) remains largely fictional.

@flq @davidaugust it may be fixed fo this phrase and these numbers but what if you asked a similar question but mention that 5 of the kiwis are twice as big as the others? Would it still give 190 or would it give 195?
