This might be a joke, but it’s making a very important point about how AI is being applied to problems where it has no relevance.

I can’t remember who it was (I want to say Chip Lord?) but someone critical of their work asked them, “what is art?” and he answered them by putting up a display of the word “ART” in giant letters.

Yep, there’s flavor text at the bottom saying exactly that:

But this isn’t your standard piece of tech; instead, it is a clever parody, an emblem of resistance to the unrelenting AI craze.

CalcGPT embodies the timeless adage - ‘Old is Gold’ - reminding us that it’s often rewarding to resort to established, traditional methods rather than chasing buzzword-infused cutting-edge tech.

I don’t know why I find it so funny that you’re absolutely correct and I hadn’t considered that, but it really just made my day.

I’m not sure if I get it. It just basically gives mostly wrong answers. Oh…

It does get basic addition correct, it just takes about five regenerations.

It seems to really like the answer 3.3333…

It’ll even give answers to a random assortment of symbols such as “±±/” which apparently equals 3.89 or… 3.33 recurring depending on its mood.
