I had a similar experience. I did some back of the envelope math and my wife suggested I run it through ChatGPT. After actually doing the math, I felt a lot better about my understanding of the problem and I just... don't trust an LLM to understand algebra. Yeah, they're awesome most of the time, but I don't want to trust it with something important, be wrong, and then have to explain to someone that I trusted the opinion of a couple of big matrices, over my own knowledge and experience, on a high school word problem.
- aaronbaugher 1y agoI've noticed Grok struggles with dates and relative time, especially when referring to things it "remembers" from earlier conversations. Even a phrase like "last night" will be wrongly interpreted sometimes. So although I've had it research numbers and create estimates for me, I wouldn't just assume the numbers are right without checking everything.
- lblume 1y agoSince LLMs are basically linear algebra all the way down, this is vaguely reminiscent of how human brains also have a very hard time understanding neural circuitry despite literally being made from it.
