I've asked models from ChatGPT3.5 to many others including the latest ones to calculate the calories expended when running, and am still receiving mixed results. In this instance, Claude 3.5 Sonnet got it right and ChatGPT 4o was wrong.
Q: Calculate the energy in calories used by a person aged 30, weighing 80kg, of averge fitness, and running at 8 km/h for 10km
Claude 3.5 Sonnet:
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
MET value for running at 8 km/h (5 mph): Approximately 8.3 METs
Formula for calorie burn:
Calories = MET value × Weight in kg × Time in hours
Calculate time in hours:
Distance = 10 km
Speed = 8 km/h
Time = Distance / Speed = 10 km / 8 km/h = 1.25 hours
Apply the formula:
Calories = 8.3 × 80 kg × 1.25 hours
Calories = 830 calories
GPT-4o: To calculate the energy expenditure for a person running, we can use the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for running. MET is a unit used to estimate the amount of energy expended during physical activities. The MET value for running at 8 km/h (which is equivalent to 5 mph) is typically around 8.3 METs.
Calories burned per minute= 8.3 × 200/80 = 3.32 calories per minute
The total time in minutes is: 1.25 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 75 minutes
1.25 hours×60 minutes/hour=75 minutes
Total calories burned=3.32 calories per minute×75 minutes = 249 calories
