Very interesting!
Here’s my experience with AI this week: In the work that I do, I often have to add strings of dimensions, such as 5’-3 7/8" + 7’-2 15/16" + 21’-4 1/4". I have a construction calculator, but it’s still tedious. So I decided to use the app I put on my phone to make the task easier. I spoke the dimensions into the phone and the app correctly wrote out the string of dimensions. It spit out a bunch of very official looking formulas, and then came up with the WRONG answer! I pointed out the error and it got it right on the second try.
So then I tried a different string of dimensions, and it again was wrong. Wow. My son put in the same numbers into ChatGPT and got the right anser. I just don’t understand how AI can get a simple addition problem wrong?
