I love to show that kind of shit to AI boosters. (In case you're wondering, the numbers were chosen randomly and the answer is incorrect).

They go waaa waaa its not a calculator, and then I can point out that it got the leading 6 digits and the last digit correct, which is a lot better than it did on the "softer" parts of the test.

Why would you think the machine that’s designed to make weighted guesses at what the next token should be would be arithmetically sound?

That’s not how any of this works (but you already knew that)

The funny thing is, even though I wouldn't expect it to be, it is still a lot more arithmetically sound than what ever is it that is going on with it claiming to use a code interpreter and a calculator to double check the result.

It is OK (7 out of 12 correct digits) at being a calculator and it is awesome at being a lying sack of shit.

lying sack of shit

Random tokens can’t lie to you, because they’re strings of text. Interpreting this as a lie is an interesting response

lol the corollary of this is that LLMs are incapable of producing meaningful output, you insufferable turd

I knew you were a lying promptfondler the instant you came into the thread, but I didn’t expect you to start acting like a gymbro trying to justify their black market steroid habit. new type of AI booster unlocked!

now fuck off

That's why I say "sack of shit" and not say "bastard".
