it’s pretty useful for explaining high level math concepts, or at least it used to be. before chatgpt 4 launched, it was able to give intuitive descriptions of stuff in algebraic topology and even prove some properties of the structures involved.

Why are people using a language model for math problems?

Well it was quite good for simple math problems, as this study also shows

It can be useful asking it certain questions which are a bit complex. Like on a plot which has the y axis linear and x axis logarithmic, the equation of a straight line is a little bit complicated. Its in the form y = m*(log(x)) + b rather than on a linear-linear plot which is y = mx+b
ChatGPT is able to calculate the correct equation of the line but it gets the answer wrong a few times… lol
This image is an example, the line going down diagonally has a bit of a strange equation y = 30 - 19.2*(log(F/150))

And why is it being measured on a single math problem lol

It was initially presented as the all-problem-solver, mainly by the media. And tbf, it was decently competent in certain fields.

Once AGI is achieved and subsequently Sentient-super intelligent ai- I cant imagine them not being such a thing, however I’d be surprised if a super intelligent sentient ai doesn’t decide humanity needs to go extinct for its own best self interests.
