Comment on ChatGPT In Trouble: OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2024, AI bot costs company $700,000 every day
MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 1 year agoThese things are currently infamously bad at math, though.
I won’t argue that it’ll never get there. I’m bl confident it will, though with a lot more perl hacks than elegant emergence.
But today, these things have an astonishingly high ‘appearance of intelligence’ to ‘incredible stupidity’ ratio.

Humans are also not particularly well known for their math skills. Ask a random stranger to do simple arithmetic in their head, with only a few seconds to think and no outside help, and I wouldn't expect particularly reliable results.

however, people are not notoriously bad at the types of basic arithmetic they test for. every time I pay something with cash, I work out how much change I’m owed mentally, and so does the seller. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually been given incorrect change throughout my entire lifetime. And when I did get wrong change, it was usually “oh, I thought you gave me €10 ínstead of €20”. Meaning that they actually still did the math correctly.
No sane person will ever tell you 4 is bigger than 7. Yet llms sometimes get even this type of question wrong. They learn patterns, but not concepts. This is even simpler than basic arithmetic.

Haha. Fair point.
