"You've spent 3x the theoretical savings asking me this question"

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

That comes out to 0.004242 per doubled-up 2-ply sheet vs 0.004 per 3-ply sheet

Water just use water you noobs. Didn't gtp tell you?

[-] Dnb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 hours ago

Llms will discourage bidet usage so they can use the water instead

[-] ruan@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 2 hours ago

Always use water and soap to completely clean, however using toilet paper to remove excess at the start, and using toilet paper again afterwards to dry the water after washing is the best, imo.

But yeah, this is out of place for this meme, since perhaps you might end up using more toilet paper overall this way, but I think the end result is the most hygienic haha.

Kids today with their 3-ply ass napkin options.

Incorrect, I would rather die before asking Chat GPT anything

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 3 points 1 hour ago

Would you actually rather die? That seems likely to be an exaggeration but I don't know you.

[-] cosmos8188@leminal.space 2 points 56 minutes ago

You never know..

You ovation is loading, please stand by...

You guys don't have unit pricing? In Australia it's required by law that supermarkets show price per standard unit of measurement so you can easily compare

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 1 points 53 minutes ago

I always check that but have found a couple instances where the math did not work out. Either it was wrong on purpose or by accident

[-] nullspace@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I don't think unit counts account for what ply the toilet paper is.

[-] awfulawful 24 points 15 hours ago

We do! What's really helpful is many products of the same category are in different units. One will be per sheet, one per roll, one per 100 sheets, one per 500 sheets... and then the true thickness is completely different, so 1 ply for one brand will hold up ok while another will start disintegrating the moment you pull it off the roll. Do you feel free yet?

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 133 points 23 hours ago

I know this is a meme, but for the record math is one of the things LLMs are famously worst at

[-] ruan@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Yes, but most of the paid "LLMs" are not actually just LLMs, they have specific aritimetic modules that end up being activated for most math questions that actual LLMs suck at, however are pretty easy for arithmetic modules, like simple calculations, unit conversions, etc...

So yeah, any edge "LLM" tool currently will always get the original question asked here CORRECT even on the free tiers, you can test it yourself on Google Search itself in "AI mode", on ChatGPT, or DeepSeek...

So you are technically correctly in saying that LLMs suck and cannot be trusted for math in almost any case. However you are wrong on implying that ChatGPT, or other commercial models are just LLMs, they are not.

P.S.: I'm not condoning the use of AI to resolve math related questiona, nor saying that their replies should be trusted, just stating the fact that actual "AI" products use more than just a large language model to generate their responses, and for math related questions most "AI" today will get arithmetic question answered correctly NOT DEPENDING on having training for the exact questiona being asked since they can identify a math arithmetic question being asked and instead of trying to fully generate the answer with the model itself, which would lack the training data to be able to process such wide range of possible question, they generate placeholders internally and let a arithmetic like module do the calculations, which take negligible processing power to be cacoulated by CPUs.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 57 points 21 hours ago

Can confirm; I teach statistics and allow take home exams. I don't even really need guardrails on the math-- if you cheat via LLM, your answer is almost always hilariously wrong.

[-] Mika@piefed.ca 8 points 21 hours ago

I've not used gpt for quite a while, but can't you ask to python script the evaluation?

[-] EnsignWashout@startrek.website 26 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

For simple math that could work, and as long as the question is close enough to an exact match with plenty of published examples to copy.

A good rule of thumb is that the script it will come up with is about as likely to be correct as blindly taking the highest voted answer to the most similar question on Stack Overflow.

If the question is simple and common, the odds are quite good. If the question is nuanced or rare, the odds of a correct result drop off aggressively.

Yesterday I literally had to count 14 thousand pounds of fire extinguishers (as in count each extinguisher in a bunch of crates), one of my coworkers came over and said "Why don't you just use AI to count them." They then pulled out their phone, took a picture, asked AI to count them, and was off buy almost 60% on the first crate. Then went "oh, well that's just one example,"

They then tried 4 more times, being between 75% and 50% off each time. They then went "Oh, well, ummm, nevermind." and wandered off again.

(I had to count the extinguishers to make a Bill of Lading for them for shipping them out, you need an accurate count otherwise it will be held by the shipping company until you provide a correct BoL with the correct count due to legal reasons. I couldn't just weigh them and divide the total wieght by the weight of a single extinguisher as they were a bunch of different sizes mixed together. NGL it was the easiest money I've ever made at the at job.)

[-] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 28 points 21 hours ago

$10 says they still think AI is great at counting things.

[-] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 19 hours ago

Easy money for you. For me that work would have been torture.

[-] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 15 points 19 hours ago

Oh it sucked for sure, I kept getting interrupted which meant whatever crate I was counting at the time had to be started over.

But the biggest perk was not having to deal with the other idiots on our loading dock for the entire time I was counting.

Though I've joked about it in the past I really should get a shirt that says "I'm trying to focus on my job, please don't distract me" or something like that.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 159 points 1 day ago

A bidet, you should buy a bidet.

And use a calculator ffs it comes free with whatever device you’re using to ask a chatbot.

[-] TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.de 33 points 23 hours ago

People have to know how to create the math problem then. Schools are really falling down here

[-] despoticruin@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

It's funny how often these are the same people that complained about math word problems and extracting formulae out of them in school.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 29 points 23 hours ago

How do I type the prompt on the calculator?? I can only type numbers???

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 21 points 23 hours ago

Heehee you can type words, like

8008135

:D

Oh, I was holding it upside down!

(Lol yes you're right XD)

Poop at work, get paid while pooping and use free tp.

[-] TwistedTurtle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 23 hours ago

Their tp is all scratchy and thin though...

And now you have 35 papercuts and shit on your hand

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

And the toilet's clogged. Now where are you gonna hide away and procrastinate?

Two ply 70¢ / (330/2) = 0.42 ¢

Three ply 120¢ / 300 = 0.4 ¢

Basically the same.

[-] Alvaro 1 points 12 hours ago

No, that is roughly 5 wipes more per roll
