Comment on Did ChatGPT come up with Trump’s tariff rate formula? AI chatbots ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok all return the same formula for reciprocal tariff calculations, several X users claim.

  Some? A huge portion are. Numerous others have replicated it with visual proof. I agree that the news sites should be verifying it, but NYT did and also documented their proof.

  That bothers me too. Get an actual expert source to verify before you publish shit from randos on Twitter and Reddit.

    “several X users claim”, they say for sources. Christ Almighty.

    In this case, it’s as simple as “type it into ChatGPT, like the Reddit users did” :/

      “these lazy fucks in the government are using ai to come up with policy”

      Also news outlet

        “News outlet” is a huge stretch. It’s a crypto currency blog pretending to be news.

      But that doesn’t confirm or deny that Trumps formula came from ChatGPT, they could both be drawing from some other source.

        You can generally toggle LLM “grounding” features, aka inserting web searches into their context.

        Modern LLMs have a information “cutoff” of a few months ago, at the latest, so the base models will have zero awareness of this formula.

  Because the article is likely just more GenAI vomit, and an LLM doesn’t have any degree of deductive reasoning ability to begin with.

    TBH it’s probably human written.

    I used to write small articles for a tech news outlet on the side (HardOCP), and the entire site went under well before the AI boom because no one can compete with slaves writing mountains of SEO garbage, especially when Google promotes it.

    Point being, this was a problem well before the rise of LLMs.

  They tariffed countries with no people in them.

  Are you annoyed that they didn’t try to replicate it, or that they’re disparaging LLMs?

    That they didn’t try to replicate it.
