They are making machines that think basically like people. People suck at mental math for whatever reason and it looks like the machines are sucking at it too, probably for the same reason. As someone else said here, these thinking machines can just use a calculator themselves or write a small python code or use wolfram alpha plugin.

- ftxbro 3y agoOK I see what you mean. I don't think using your suggestion of semantic tokens is a good way to do it. They will do it by wrapping the raw text completion with more steps that are hidden from you, which will make it do the math right, and then it won't make such obvious math mistakes anymore.
- jiggawatts 3y agoThe problem with that is that the AI can’t reason over the results of computations it can’t see.
