@eb@social.coop It's always so baffling to me that people made computers do extremely complicated math and logic to give wrong results in simple arithmetic. And they sell that as a product that's supposed to be a great technological leap forward

@Kiloku@burnthis.town @eb@social.coop If you use a hammer to eat soup you generally don't end up with good results. If you want to sum numbers use the sum function, not one that predicts the next most probable token. I dislike this type of bashing of LLMs because it's trivial to dismiss (ok they can't do trivial maths, but they can write an entire piece of software for me). There are much more risky outputs that could be used as an example. Funky Excel formulas have always existed...

@Kiloku@burnthis.town @eb@social.coop yea sometimes it feels like people who say they use Gen AI and I live in different realities.

@Kiloku@burnthis.town The Pentium FDIV bug was not a bug, it was a trial balloon. @eb@social.coop
