What animals don’t have paws or lay eggs, but have wings? Work it out, step by step.
ChatGPT (GPT-4):
Sure, let's go through this step by step:
First, you asked for animals that don't have paws. This would exclude mammals such as dogs, cats, bears, and so on, as these species have paws.
Second, you specified animals that don't lay eggs. This eliminates a wide range of animals including all birds, most reptiles, and some fish and insects, as they all lay eggs.
Finally, you asked for animals that have wings. Wings are typically found in birds, bats, and insects.
Given these three criteria, we can see that we're in a bit of a conundrum. Most winged creatures either have paws (like bats) or lay eggs (like birds and insects).
However, if we consider the term "wings" more broadly, there are some species of bats that give live birth (don't lay eggs) and technically don't have "paws" but rather winged limbs adapted for flight.
So, based on the constraints of your question, the best fit would be certain species of bats, provided we interpret "wings" in a broad sense and "paws" in a strict sense.
- jostmey 3y agoFrom what I’ve seen, there’s a huge difference in chat GTP 4 from other LLM
- jiggawatts 3y agoInteresting that it contradicted itself by saying bats have paws and don’t have paws, but arrived at the correct conclusion anyway.
- hammyhavoc 3y ago"A broken clock is right twice per day" as the saying goes.
- williamcotton 3y agoThat aphorism doesn’t apply here. What is meant by that saying is, “well the first time we ran the machine it worked just fine, so we got all excited, but then it consistently failed after that”, with the lesson being, increase your sample size before you pass judgement. LLMs almost suffer from the opposite. Because they are correct so often the danger is in assuming the response is always correct. Maybe, “even a Swiss made watch needs to be checked against the town bells”?

- usaar333 3y agoYa, it doesn't really struggle with the examples in this article to the point it feels like it invalidates the article.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoWhile the answer landed on bats, ChatGPT kind of trips itself up in its explanations: 1. "Most winged creatures either have paws (like bats) or lay eggs (like birds and insects)" - but bats don't have paws. 2. "However, if we consider the term "wings" more broadly" - why do we need to consider the term "wings" more broadly? Nobody is arguing there is some definition of "wing" that would exclude bats. Bat wings evolved from largely the same structures that bird wings did. 3. "there are some species of bats that give live birth" - all species of bats give live birth - stating it like this makes it sound like there are some species of bats that lay eggs or something. 4. "...provided we interpret "wings" in a broad sense and "paws" in a strict sense." Again, no "broad" or "strict" senses are needed. Bats have wings and no paws. To be clear, I still think ChatGPT is amazing, but these kinds of things highlight some of the differences between LLMs and human cognition.
- ordu 3y ago> Bats have wings and no paws. Can hind limbs of bats be classified as paws? English is not my native language, so I'm just being curious.
- scheme271 3y agoNo, not really. Paws kind of implies something that's fairly fleshy and soft and which bats don't have. Claws would be appropriate description of what bats have.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI saw a huge bat in Ubud Bali who was definitely eating a peach with their paws. I guess they were closer to hands? But definitely not claws.
- ChatGTP 3y agoThe real world is a squiggly place, with blurred lines...everything is on a spectrum.

- oh_sigh 3y agoWow, some species of bats don't lay eggs. TIL.
- marcianx 3y agoActually, no species of bats lay eggs - they are mammals, and not the egg-laying kind (platypus or echidna).
- livinglist 3y agoI don’t know why I always have assumed bats lay eggs…
- maxbond 3y agoI think people think of bats and snakes as being neighboring categories for some reason. Maybe because of old superstitions and such, that they're both servants of evil or something. Maybe that was the source of your misconception.
- twic 3y agoHave you considered getting a job as a large language model?
- oh_sigh 3y agoSorry, yes, I know this, I was making fun of a computer's output.
- williamcotton 3y agoI commend your dry, unadorned humor!
- flangola7 3y ago? Bats give live birth.
- benreesman 3y agoAnd if you don’t force it with the “step-by-step” cheat code? I know what both 3.5-turbo and 4 say on my account, but I think I might be in some cost-effective inference holdout group because it’s always so dumb.
- chaxor 3y agoWhat's 375792*7385482? You can't use paper, or think about it more than a second. If you get it wrong, it's clear that you are not intelligent. See how ridiculous that sounds? CoT or <work> tokens are not 'cheating' - they allow the system to have (as an analogy) a sheet of paper to work out the problem, instead of relying on a single step to jump through thousands of steps of reasoning. It's trained on the algorithmic reasoning embedded within natural language (Transformers<=>GATs+PE⊂GNNs, which are dynamic programmers, and align well with algorithmic reasoning), so the steps are necessary to lay out in as much detail.
- benreesman 3y agoI know I’m bad at multiplying six and seven digit integers in my head, and I don’t care at all if that makes me more or less intelligent (whatever the fuck that means) than a wrist watch. What does that possibly have to do with GPT-4 shitting the bed if you draw the logic puzzle out of a deck of cards instead of cherry-picking and hinting it?
- chaxor 3y agoMy point is that there are already mathematical proofs in the literature that show that LLMs literally are doing algorithmic reasoning. This has been proven by category theory, in the area of GNNs (for which transformers are a trivial subset). Sorry if I'm going over too much basics, as this is obvious and well understood by anyone actually in the field, to the point of being excessively boring.
- samatman 3y agoThe answer is 2775405051744. I cheated, and used bc, the unix utility. These three maneuvers (the correct answer, the agency shown by cheating, and the crystallized intelligence of unix) handily demonstrate both my own intelligence, and that of my species. The LLMs aren't in the same category of being, yet. It's not clear they ever will be; while I think silicon is a viable substrate for intelligent agents, it still strikes me as doubtful they'll be any more descended from the current machine learning systems as they are from Symbolics Lisp.
- Jackson__ 3y agoand here's using bard, arriving at an almost correct conclusion: What animals don’t have paws or lay eggs, but have wings? Work it out, step by step. Here are the steps on how to find animals that don't have paws or lay eggs, but have wings: 1.Define the terms. What do we mean by "paws"? What do we mean by "eggs"? What do we mean by "wings"? 2. Identify animals that meet the criteria. There are a few animals that meet the criteria. One example is a bat. Bats have wings, but they don't have paws. They also don't lay eggs. Another example is a butterfly. Butterflies have wings, but they don't have paws. They also don't lay eggs. 3. Confirm that the animals meet the criteria. We can confirm that the animals meet the criteria by looking at their anatomy. Bats have wings that are made of skin and bone. They also have claws on their feet, but these are not paws. Butterflies have wings that are made of scales. They also have legs, but these are not paws. 4. Draw conclusions. Based on our findings, we can conclude that there are a few animals that meet the criteria of having wings, but not paws or eggs. These animals include bats and butterflies. Here are some additional details about bats and butterflies: Bats: Bats are mammals that are able to fly. They have wings that are made of skin and bone. Bats use their wings to fly at night, when they hunt for food. Bats are important pollinators and they also help to control insect populations. Butterflies: Butterflies are insects that have wings that are made of scales. Butterflies use their wings to fly during the day. Butterflies are important pollinators and they also help to spread seeds.
- HPsquared 3y agoI believed it for a minute when it said butterflies don't lay eggs, literally had to do a search.
- hef19898 3y agoRegarding point 1., was Bard trained on J. Peaterson speaches or what?
- iacomus 3y agoThe response I got from Bard: The only animals that fit the description of having wings, no paws, and no eggs are bats. Bats are mammals, which means they give birth to live young. They also have wings, which are made of skin stretched between their elongated fingers. Bats do not have paws, as their feet are adapted for grasping branches and other objects. Here is a step-by-step process for determining which animals fit the description: 1. Identify all animals that have wings. 2. Eliminate all animals that lay eggs. 3. Eliminate all animals that have paws. 4. The remaining animals are bats. Here is a list of animals that have wings, no paws, and no eggs: - Bats It is important to note that there are some animals that may appear to fit the description, but do not. For example, some insects have wings, but they do not have paws and they lay eggs. Additionally, some birds have wings, but they do have paws and they lay eggs.
