Probably should’ve just asked Wolfram Alpha
LLMs are really fucking bad at math. They’re trying to find the statistical close answer, not doing computation. It’s rather mind-numbingly dumb.
Unfortunately a shockingly large number of people don’t get this… including my old boss who was running an AI-based startup 💀
I read it as “A third of a third plus a third is a half.” Which makes sense to me. What an I missing?
It’s wrong.
1/3 + (1/3 * 1/3) = 3/9 + 1/9 = 4/9. It’s close though.However, one third plus one half of a third is correct.
1/3 + (1/2 * 1/3) = 1/3 + (1.5/3 * 1/3) = 1/3 + 0.5/3 = 1.5/3 = 1/2
Not even moderately helpful for printer questions.
What, your printer doesn’t have a full keyboard under its battery? You’ve gotta get with the times my man.
It sounds like some weird ritual that someone scratched into a notebook.

Wait did you edit this image? That’s some effort you’ve put in.
I actually sent a bunch of prompts through image generators till it gave something close to what I wanted
Using generative AI to try and visualize generative AI
one third plus one half of one third is one half.
I think thats an issue with AI, it has been so much trained on complex questions that now when you ask a simple one, it mistakes it for a complex one and answers it that way
It’s auto-complete. It knows that “4” is the most common substring to follow “2 + 2” in its training. It’s not actually doing addition.
The issue is it’s an LLM. It puts words in an order that’s statistically plausible but has no reasoning power.
