    If that’s the quality of answer you’re getting, then it’s a user error

    No, I know the data I gave it and I know how hard I tried to get it to use it truthfully.

    You have an irrational and wildly inaccurate belief in the infallibility of LLMs.

    You’re also denying the evidence of my own experience. What on earth made you think I would believe you over what I saw with my own eyes?

      Why are you giving it data. It’s a chat and language tool. It’s not data based. You need something trained to work for that specific use. I think Wolfram Alpha has better tools for that.

      I wouldn’t trust it to calculate how many patio stones I need to build a project. But I trust it to tell me where a good source is on a topic or if a quote was said by who ever or if I need to remember something but I only have vague pieces like old timey historical witch burning related factoid about villagers who pulled people through a hole in the church wall or what was a the princess who was skeptic and sent her scientist to villages to try to calm superstitious panic .

      Other uses are like digging around my computer and seeing what processes do what. How concepts work regarding the think I’m currently learning. So many excellent users. But I fucking wouldn’t trust it to do any kind of calculation.

        Why are you giving it data

        Because there’s a button for that.

        It’s output is dependent on the input

        This thing that you said… It’s false.

          There’s a sleep button on my laptop. Doesn’t mean I would use it.

          I’m just trying to say you’re saying the feature that everyone kind of knows doesn’t work. Chatgpt is not trained to do calculations well.

          I just like technology and I think and fully believe the left hatred of it is not logical. I believe it stems from a lot of media be and headlines. Why there’s this push From media is a question I would like to know more. But overall, I see a lot of the same makers of bullshit yellow journalism for this stuff on the left as I do for similar bullshit on the right wing spaces towards other things.
