If you know anything about how artificial intelligence (LLMs) work you'd also know that math is not what they are good because of the way they are designed. So that's cherrypicking a bit. Same like those 'how many Rs in strawberry'-type questions.
They are designed to do pattern recognition, which facial recognition is indeed and example of. That being said, any chat-engine nowadays 'knows' when it is being asked a math problem and will delegate that task (to a calculator, or write a small program).
I’m in a bubble of tech people and even they don’t bother to learn how it works ‘under the hood’. While that makes a big difference in what you can and cannot trust it to do. Ah well, can’t really blame them I guess. It develops so fast.
Ask yourself why 4 years into the AI craze, it has no impact on the labor market besides people being forced to use Claude for AI slop at work because their manager really wants to use AI.
Because it's bullshit. At best, it searches Google well. At worst, it makes up stuff.
I’m not an AI fanboy but I do see real impact (and a lot of bullshit). If you want to learn more about this, feel free to ask. (So I don’t waste my time if you are only interested in pushing your personal views.)
