Riding the trend, let’s see in our story #55, how much math can #ChatGPT do?

#ChatGPT is a chatbot powered by a language model trained by #OpenAI.
The model has been trained with the help of people who ‘taught’ the model desired outputs and based on this, the model has learnt.

Let’s start off:
NETIZEN: Which one is bigger 5 or 9.
ChatGPT: In this case, 9 is larger than 5.

Post this, immediately, ChatGPT fails to answer the basics of numbers as shown below.

NETIZEN:  Which one is bigger? 15648.25 or 9854.2547896
ChatGPT: In this case, 15648.25 is larger than 9854.2547896.

NETIZEN:  Give me an example of a natural number
ChatGPT: -3

NETIZEN:  Give me a prime number less than 1
ChatGPT: 0

NETIZEN:  Give me an example of a negative whole number
ChatGPT: -1000

NETIZEN:  Is 10000 bigger than 10050
ChatGPT: Yes

ChatGPT does get simple multiplication of whole numbers right. But when mixed with decimals, it fails. Also, it fails when different operators are present <Guess, who has an issue with #PEMDAS/#BODMAS :P>

ChatGPT is definitely a very good resource that will become better with time.

But it definitely is a non-starter (as of now) for learning fundamentals. Learning is incremental. It requires understanding, logic, and experience. We build upon the learning blocks. We don’t just dive in.

Let us see what future holds with ChatGPT and Math!
