in computer logic you would get an undefined if the number was large enough.
- civilized 4y agoIt doesn't work with numbers as computer numbers though. It works with them as decimal digit strings, just like humans do.
- Paul-Craft 4y agoMake the number you multiply by essentially the concatenation of a long series of random digits, and I can just about guarantee most humans will get different things on both sides, because they'll make one or more mistakes doing the math. That is, of course, assuming the humans don't have suitable traditional computer tools capable of handling such a scenario.
- civilized 4y agoNot sure how this is relevant to the discussion.
- Paul-Craft 4y agoYou don't see how asking humans to multiply both sides of 2 * 2 = 4 by the same, very large, random-ish number, and expecting that they'll get different things is relevant to this: > 2 * 2 = 4, but if you multiply both sides of that equation by a big number, that's no longer true. You know, the very same scenario I pulled from your comment?
- civilized 4y agoIt's not the same issue. I was talking to GPT about the strings 2 * 2 * x and 4 * x, not the multiplied-out versions.
