It's a bit weird that it still doesn't get 3 digit multiplications correct, but the last digit seems right.
What is more bizarre is that all of it's errors seem to be multiples of 60!
I'm wondering if it is confusing 60 based time (hour second) computations for regular multiplication?
Example:
xGPT 987 456 321
437 428919 199512 140397
654 645258 298224 209994
123 121401 56088 39483
x 987 456 321
437 431319 199272 140277
654 645498 298224 209934
123 121401 56088 39483
error 987 456 321
437 2400 -240 -120
654 240 0 -60

- MagicMoonlight 4y agoIt’s not intelligent. It has no concept of mathematics so you can’t expect it to solve that. It can repeat answers it has seen before but it can’t solve new problems.
- kurthr 4y agoI understand it's just a language model, but clearly it has some embedded method of generating answers which are actually quite close. For example it gets all 2 digit multiplications correct. It's highly unlikely it has seen the same 6 ordered 3 digit (or even all 10k 2 digit multipies) integers from a space of 10^18 and yet it is quite close. Notably, it gets the same divisions wrong as well (for this small example) in exactly the same way. I know of other people who have tried quite a few other multiplications who also had errors that were multiples of 60.
