ChatGPT failed to calculate 241-(-241)+1. [Screen Shot 2023-02-15 at 3.00.27 PM]

Math is a known weak point of LLMs. A simple rule is not using the LLM (ChatGPT) for something that can be achieved perfectly with a standard calculator/computer. That said, I think this “math paradox,” where our seemingly most advanced computer cannot perform arithmetic, does a great job demonstra…

Hi @ruby_coder Thank you for running the simulation. Let me give the complete story here: After ChatGPT gave me 484, I corrected its response and received its acknowledgement on 483 being the right answer. However, when I asked the exact same question again, it still predicted 484. As you have me…

[image] daisyyedda: As you have mentioned that the model is predicting the next text in the sequence of natural language, in this case, why wouldn’t 483 become the new prediction? That is because the model is pre-trained and when you interact with it, it’s not learning. Does that make sense …

OpenAI has been wrong twice on simple addition problems. See below I asked “Total Raw Cost = $549.72 + $6.98 + $41.00 + $35.00 + $552.00 + $76.16 + $29.12” Open AI Answer “Total Raw Cost = $1,290.98” Correct Answer is $1,289.98 I understand it’s very simple and I could do on my own, but that’s …

[image] chris.m.schafer: OpenAI has been wrong twice on simple addition problems Yes. As this thread, and many other threads, and the disclaimers in the documentation all state, these are stochastic language parrots, not infallible computing machines. Don’t use it for math. Or anything else …

Bonjour, j’ai soucis, je n’arrive pas à bien calculé avec ChatGPT Exemple chatGPT trouve ça pour ce calcul 12 + 196 + 138 + 206 + 122 + 307 + 35 + 135 + 20 + 201 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 14 + 21 + 211 + 149 + 244 + 134 + 280 + 33 + 127 + 27 + 196 = 3666 et sur excel j’ai trouvé 2818
