I think there’s a misunderstanding in how chatgpt works. You feed it text, and it outputs what it considers to be a statistically plausible answer. The reason you got that specific answer is because first it tokenizes your string into 2-3 character chunks, and then from its training, it understands that some portion or combination of those tokens produce an answer similar to that, so it believes 0.02002715164 is statistically plausible in response. It doesn’t understand anything more than weights and biases, so it can’t math, only text.
- soco 4y agoThere's this same misunderstanding everywhere and I'm afraid the more AI gets into business, the more troubles we will suffer from that. The AI - as it looks today - doesn't even aim to be correct, just appropriate. So like here it will happily feed you quick but incorrect answers, and the problems will start when business decision makers will happily use those answers because hey it's AI.

- tarboreus 4y agoI've seen some amazing stuff. People who think they've accessed GPT's source by asking questions, people who think they're browsing the web when GPT is just making stuff up the whole time.
