It's writing the conclusion at the beginning, so none of that convincing-looking mathematical reasoning had any bearing on the provided answer. The sum in the fourth paragraph could have been implemented using a plugin: we have no reason to believe the actual language model is doing it (and lots of precedent to suggest it probably didn't).

It would take the combined daily revenue of T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon approximately 2.67 days to generate $196 million in revenue. To estimate the time it takes for T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon combined to generate $196 million in revenue, we need to calculate their combined daily revenue.
Let's assume the combined daily revenue of the three companies is:
T-Mobile: $45.5 million (as estimated earlier) AT&T: $125.6 million (as estimated earlier) Verizon: $349.3 million (as estimated earlier) Combined daily revenue: 45.5 million + 125.6 million + 349.3 million = 520.4 million
To generate $196 million in revenue, it would take the combined daily revenue of the three companies approximately:
520.4 million (combined daily revenue) ÷ 196 million (target revenue) ≈ 2.67 days
- jddj 3y agoYou're probably right, and I did wonder if it was just delegating the math. I remember they tried to get chatgpt to delegate to python for that sort of thing. What interested me was that even though it got it backwards 520.4 / 196 isn't quite 2.67, without allowing for some weird floating point behaviour (it's 2.655)
- wizzwizz4 3y agoThe fact the final answer is close to the initial answer is surprising: the fact it's not the same is unsurprising. 2.67 was decided (plucked out of thin air) before any of the other numbers were invented.
