AI can't calculate properly
By now it is clear that AI large language models are good with words but not numbers & the reasons for that have also been somewhat defined (average & approximation does not work well with exact maths) For example, I wanted to see if our Idli Stand will fit into an electric kettle that our company was offering as a Gift option. From the amazon listing I found the dimensions but not the height. So I sent this prompt to ChatGPT : "Calculate the height for a one liter volume cylinder that has 18 cm depth and 20 cm width" The response: What you're solving for The height of the cylinder. What's given in the problem The cylinder has a volume of 1liter The cylinder has a depth of 18cm The cylinder has a width of 20cm Helpful information The volume of a cylinder is V=ฯr2hcap V equals pi r squared h ๐=๐๐2โ The radius of a circle is r=d2r equals d over 2 end-fraction ๐=๐2 1liter=1000cm3 How to solve...
