I have a mathematics (though not physics) degree and I didn't understand your question at all; "forques" appears to be either a place in France, Old French, or Catalan. I assume ChatGPT was correct in re-spelling "forques" as "torques", but have you tried asking Claude using words that do appear on the Internet?
- xixixao 2y agoUnlike you, both LLMs were familiar with geometric algebra and used the relevant terminology. Testing on something widely known isn’t likely to stretch these systems.
- Smaug123 2y agoI'd expect them to do better when the input uses words that appear more in the training data. This very thread is the fifth hit on Google for `"forques" geometric algebra`; the third and fourth hit are the same paper as each other; the second hit is https://bivector.net/PGAdyn.pdf https://bivector.net/PGAdyn.pdf which appears to have invented the term; and the first hit doesn't define it. I (logic, computability, set and type theory) am in no position to know whether it's a standard term in geometric algebra, but I do strongly expect LLMs to do much worse on queries that don't appear much in their training set (for which I take Google search results as a proxy); even if they have the knowledge to answer, I expect them to answer better when the question uses common words. I do know that when I asked your question to ChatGPT, it silently re-spelt "forques" as "torques".
