      It’s a language model, I don’t know why you would expect math. Tell it to output code to perform the math, that’ll work just fine.

        Then it should say so instead of attempting and failing at the one thing computers are supposed to be better than us at

        I know. It’s still baffling how much it messes up when adding two numbers.

          I just asked GPT-4:

          What’s 7 * 8 divided by 10, to the power of 3?

          Its reply:

          Let’s break this down step by step:

          First, multiply 7 and 8 to get 56.

          Then, divide 56 by 10 to get 5.6.

          Finally, raise 5.6 to the power of 3 (5.6 * 5.6 * 5.6) to get 175.616.

          So, 7 * 8 divided by 10, to the power of 3 equals 175.616

          It’s not baffling at all… It’s a language model, not a math robot. It’s designed to write English sentences, not to solve math problems.
