I know. It’s still baffling how much it messes up when adding two numbers.

It’s not baffling at all… It’s a language model, not a math robot. It’s designed to write English sentences, not to solve math problems.

I just asked GPT-4:

What’s 7 * 8 divided by 10, to the power of 3?

Its reply:

Let’s break this down step by step:

First, multiply 7 and 8 to get 56.

Then, divide 56 by 10 to get 5.6.

Finally, raise 5.6 to the power of 3 (5.6 * 5.6 * 5.6) to get 175.616.

So, 7 * 8 divided by 10, to the power of 3 equals 175.616

It’s pretty hit or miss though… I’ve had lots of good calculations with the odd wrong one sprinkled in, making it unreliable for doing maths. Mostly because it presents the result with absolute certainty.
