      I’m guessing they’re still stuck on thinking it’s 2025 somehow, which is pretty crazy since keeping accurate track of dates and numbers SHOULD be the most basic thing an AI can do.

        AI doesn’t “know” anything. It’s a big statistical probability model that predicts words based on context. It is very specifically BAD at math and dates etc. because it works based on words, not numbers. Models can’t do math

          Yeah, I’m being colloquial with saying “thinking,” and that makes sense! Computers that are bad at math, what genius!

        Actually, it’s what traditional software should be very good at, LLM is actually inherently kind of bad at it. Much work has gone into getting the LLMs to detect mathy stuff and try to shuffle off to some other technology that can cope with it.
