      Sure it does. It’s a calculator and can tell me if I did my statistics homework correctly. I can also ask it to summarize a concept I find difficult.

        If you want a calculator, try an actual calculator or a website that actually does math like Wolfram alpha.

        A chatbot can’t actually do math. It can only give you an answer that looks right because it has no fundamental understanding of what “right” actually is.

          How old are you and what doctorates do you have? Calling this 50yo naive with the 2 sentences of context is pretty wild.

            We’re not in a dick-swinging contest here. At least I am not :) What a dumb way to deflect from the point I am making. If you have any understanding of the matter, you know that LLMs are only statistically accurate, and mathematically, that is useless.

          I have a long, successful career. I am doing this program for personal growth and to create a challenge for myself. Please stop projecting your impressions on my life, I am my own person and very confident in what I have accomplished.

            I am not objecting to you to learn something new. The naivety is what you display assuming you can use LLMs to “check your homework”.

        until it hallucinates

        who the fuck wants a calculator that gives out the wring answer every 5th time
