Its understanding of problems was very bad last time I used it. Meaning it was difficult to communicate what you wanted it to do. Usually I try to write in the Mathematica language, but even that is not foolproof.
Hopefully they have incorporated more modern LLM since then, but it hasn’t been that long.
- jampekka 2y agoWolfram Alpha's "smartness" is often Clippy level enraging. E.g. it makes assumptions of symbols based on their names (e.g. a is assumed to be a constant, derivatives are taken w.r.t. x). Even with Mathematica syntax it tends to make such assumptions and refuses to lift them even when explicitly directed. Quite often one has to change the variable symbols used to try to make Alpha to do what's meant.
