Generative AI is INCREDIBLY bad at mathmatical/logical reasoning. This is well known, and very much not surprising.

That’s actually one of the milestones on the way to general artificial intelligence. The ability to reason about logic & math is a huge increase in AI capability.

It’s really not in the most current models.

And it’s already at present incredibly advanced in research.

The bigger issue is abstract reasoning that necessitates nonlinear representations - things like Sodoku, where exploring a solution requires updating the conditions and pursuing multiple paths to a solution. This can be achieved with multiple calls, but doing it in a single process is currently a fool’s errand and likely will be until a shift to future architectures.

I’m referring to models that understand language and semantics, such as LLMs.

Other models that are specifically trained can’t do what it can, but they can perform math.

If one gallon is 3.785 liters, then one gallon is less than 4 liters. So, 4 liters should’ve been the answer.

4l is only 2 characters, 3.785l is 6 characters. 6 > 2, therefore 3.785l is greater than 4l.

You can see from the green icon that it’s GPT-3.5.

GPT-3.5 really is best described as simply “convincing autocomplete.”

It isn’t until GPT-4 that there were compelling reasoning capabilities including rudimentary spatial awareness (I suspect in part from being a multimodal model).

In fact, it was the jump from a nonsense answer regarding a “stack these items” prompt from 3.5 to a very well structured answer in 4 that blew a lot of minds at Microsoft.

These answers don’t use OpenAI technology. The yes and no snippets have existed long before their partnership, and have always sucked. If it’s GPT, it’ll show in a smaller chat window or a summary box that says it contains generated content. The box shown is just a section of a webpage, usually with yes and no taken out of context.

All of the above queries don’t yield the same results anymore. I couldn’t find an example of the snippet box on a different search, but I definitely saw one like a week ago.

The way you start with ‘Obviously’ makes it seem like you are being sarcastic, but then you include an image of it having no problems correctly answering.

Took me a minute to try to suss out your intent, and I’m still not 100% sure.

Ok most of these sure, but you absolutely can microwave Chihuahua meat. It isn’t the best way to prepare it but of course the microwave rarely is, Roasted Chihuahua meat would be much better.

You can make the bacon more crispy if you layer the bacon between sheets of aluminum foil.
