"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I bet we could save a few gajillion watts if we just put that through an if statement. If math, then just be a calculator Else, make some bullshit up.
Apparently that's the new way to do math in AI. The AI works out you're trying to do math, tries to write some Python code to do the math, runs the python codes, gets the answer, writes a response around the numeric answer.
I can't think of any possible issues with this; it's infallible. /s
