Should have displayed the common names, not latin names. And why not just upload the image to reddit instead of using imgur? On mobile I had to open it in imgur, then open it as a separate image before I could read the text.

>I'm asking why they don't recognize that a portion of the answers they provide will be useless without being able to solve simple math problems.
?? They absolutely recognize that it's not good at math. It's not meant to be good at math. If you're still using it for math despite being told it's not good for math and despite the obvious results showing it's not good at math, then that's your problem, not theirs. That it's not good at math hardly negates its core competencies, which are remarkable and highly valuable.
>They could certainly build in a calculator now
What? That would be absolutely pointless. They might as well just tell you to use your own calculator. In fact, that's what Bing Chat would tell people if you asked it to do a math problem back before they neutered it.

Because basic calculation is already a solved problem. OpenAI is concerned with pushing the frontiers of AI, not with trivial integration of current systems. No one is going to use GPT for basic calculation anyways. People already have ubiquitous access to basic calculators. It's not part of GPT's core competency, so why waste time on it? What is part of GPT's core competency is an advanced ability to process language.
That's not to say that they are necessarily ignoring the math problem. But the approach you are suggesting is not an AI-based approach. You are suggesting a programmatic approach (i.e. "if this, then do this..."). If they were only concerned with turning ChatGPT into a basic calculator, that might work. But that's a dead-end. If OpenAI is addressing the math problem, they would be taking an AI approach to it (developing a model that learns math on its own). That's a much harder problem, but one with much greater returns from solving it.

I don't get your comment. You know it's a language model and not a calculator and yet are surprised that it got a calculation wrong? And no, it doesn't send anything to anything else. It's a language model. It's just predicting that the sequence of words "I'm sending this calculation to python" is the most likely sequence of words that should follow.

I thought it was supposed to be better at coding. Perhaps codeforces is more about advanced logic than coding?

It's a Ukrainian soldier. Weird how that little bit of info was left out of the title. He's running away from advancing Russians, which is why he's looking back.
I wonder if you're going to edit your comment now.

If you're going by OSM classification of roads, you should know that it's highly inconsistent. Two roads that are in fact very similar (surface, width, frequency of use) are often classified differently and vice versa. That's what you get with crowd sourced data.

That's hardly a more detailed explanation. You still don't answer the questions. If you are reporting survey data you need to fully describe your sampling frame, what defines the sample population, how you obtained contact information, how you contacted potential respondents, how many potential respondents you contacted and how many actually participated (so that you can report the all-important response rate), etc., etc.
This reads like a high school project.

Thankfully we humans have the ability to think in the subjunctive mood. Helps with planning for the future and learning from past mistakes. Are you human?

Are you saying that Google's SEO favors sites that use AdWords or simply that Google doesn't have an incentive to fix their SEO, because sites that game the SEO benefit Google through AdWords? The former possibility seems illegal.

Are you talking about chrome or Google search? Does Google make money from ads in chrome? If you've navigated to a fluff site and away from Google, does Google still make money?

> Google’s advertising structure has made it so there’s plenty of shit sites out there that only exist to trick us into clicks to serve us ads
That has nothing to do with Google's ad model. You can't pay google to improve your page's rank on a search. Ads are completely separate from search results. The internet has simply gotten much bigger and much shittier, diluting useful information.
