    There’s a sleep button on my laptop. Doesn’t mean I would use it.

    I’m just trying to say you’re saying the feature that everyone kind of knows doesn’t work. Chatgpt is not trained to do calculations well.

    I just like technology and I think and fully believe the left hatred of it is not logical. I believe it stems from a lot of media be and headlines. Why there’s this push From media is a question I would like to know more. But overall, I see a lot of the same makers of bullshit yellow journalism for this stuff on the left as I do for similar bullshit on the right wing spaces towards other things.

      Again with dismissing the evidence of my own eyes!

      I wasn’t asking it to do calculations, I was asking it to put the data into a super formulaic sentence. It was good at the first couple of rows then it would get stuck in a rut and start lying. It was crap. A seven year old would have done it far better, and if I’d told a seven year old that they had made a couple of mistakes and to check it carefully, they would have done.

      Again, I didn’t read it in a fucking article, I read it on my fucking computer screen, so if you’d stop fucking telling me I’m stupid for using it the way it fucking told me I could use it, or that I’m stupid for believing what the media tell me about LLMs, when all I’m doing is telling you my own experience, you’d sound a lot less like a desperate troll or someone who is completely unable to assimilate new information that differs from your dogma.

        What does “I give it data to put in a formulaic sentence.” mean here

        Why not just share the details. I often find a lot of people saying it’s doing crazy things and never like to share the details. It’s very similar to discussing things with Trump supporters who do the same shit when pressed on details about stuff they say occurs. Like the same “you’re a troll for asking for evidence of my claim” that trumpets do. It’s wild how similar it is.

        And yes asking to do things like iterate over rows isn’t how it works. It’s getting better but that’s not what it’s primarily used for. It could be but isn’t. It only catches so many tokens. It’s getting better and has some persistence but it’s nowhere near what its strength is.
