Don’t trust an AI when a $2 calculator does the job more accurately.
Google’s Bard also has trouble with math.
Not like the computers they run in don’t have arithmetic units (they do).
The just don’t know the rules of operator precedence.
It’s also fun to fuck around with bogus prepositions (I got Alfred to admit tireless means you has no tires — three bogus prepositions!)
“AI” seems impressive, but at the root is an elaborate fakeout.
Unlikely. Bard, Alfred and other “AI” is are linguistic models which may get better, but will still be easily confused.
The belief that these are trivial to solve is what companies that back them want investors to believe. The reality is far nastier and far more complex.
@feloneouscat AI is evolving rapidly, and soon it will be able to remember the order of mathematical operations unerringly. Just one more step to controlling our entire world, I'm sure.
