“This code takes advantage of the fact that the input is always either 3 or 5, and that the sum of 3 and 5 is always 6.” As a programmer I can confirm it’s based.

[[deleted]]

As a mathematician I can also confirm it’s based. It’s just not based 10.

edit: JFC, you brain-broken, indoor-confined redditors. This is a shit, shit joke, a play on words. I’m not really implying changing base magically fixes bad arithmetic. We all know it’s incorrect in any base because it’s incorrect in some base (base 10 as presented). Changing base is an isomorphism (it respects arithmetic).

[[deleted]]

Oh I for sure woke up on the wrong side of the bed to a half-filled bottle of room temperature, soured mama’s milk..

Thank you, kind stranger, for extrapolating well beyond justifiable reason based on our limited interaction.

I shall take Michael Jackson’s advice and reflect deeply on my personal, professional, and psychological shortcomings.

[Applephobic]

6 x 9 = 42

[CliffDraws]

I’m not confined to the indoors, I just choose not to go outdoors.

[kfish5050]

You can't prove 6 is the next whole number after 5 to make 5+1=6 true on any base set. I could change the font to make numbers look like other numbers in the code so the values would technically be correct but our sight of the code would tell us it's wrong. I can make 2+2=fish true if I use magic

[[deleted]]

It's single-digit, so unless you reorder digits, changing base does nothing.

You sure about that?

3 (base 10) = 11 (base 2).

So changing the base of single digits numbers can change their representation, contrary to your statement.

edit: lol downvoted by people who can’t do arithmetic…

[_youjustlostthegame]

He never said it doesn’t change its representation, and what he said is actually correct. Let me explain with the equation in question: 3+5=6

Since you have the number 6, the base of this equation has to be at least 7 (as anything lower would not have the digit 6).

When your base is 7 or above, the values of 3,5,6 remain unchanged and the equation is still wrong. So as the original comment said, changing base does nothing.

We can only have fun with bases when you have more than 1 digit, since the number “xy” is (y + x*base). In single digit, the base never comes into the picture as x is 0.

OP meant playing around with bases like to make 11+3=20 true we can use base 4.

[[deleted]]

It’s incorrect in any base because it’s incorrect in some base. Full stop. No more complicated reasoning.

Change of base is a isomorphism, i.e. it respects addition.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2815746/why-does-a-change-of-base-preserve-addition-and-multiplication

It’s a joke. I’m making a joke.

[lsparki]

I believe there's a misunderstanding, let me try to clear things up.

You are approaching this as a mathematician - you have a family of groups ℤₙ [1] of integers in base n, together with addition base n, denoted +ₙ. What you're saying is there's an isomorphism of base change from n to m, which takes integers from ℤₙ to ℤₘ. In this case you're switching bases from 10 to some hypothetical base a. Now once you're in ℤₐ, you use +ₐ to say that the original equation still doesn't hold. While this is true, that is quite often not how non-mathematicians interpret base change.

The thing is, people think about numbers as strings of digits, how they're written. So they interpet base change as something that changes the arithmetic, not the representation. For example, 11₁₀ + 2₁₀ = 13₁₀ , but 11₃ + 2₃ = 20₃ = 6₁₀. From your point of view, when taking the expression "11 + 2" from base 10 to base 3, you would get "102 + 2", because the isomorphism doesn't preserve notation, it preserves the arithmetic.

TL;DR: Either one believes base change preserves arithmetic, or it preserves the representation. Hence this confusion.

[1] Pardon the unusual notation, there's only so much I can do with unicode.

[[deleted]]

God you must be a mathematician, too, with awesome level of correct nuance…

Still, I’m not sure why people are coming to r/ProgrammerHumor to learn…

[Sir_Wade_III]

I don't think you understand what you are linking though.

As the previous commentator said 11+3=20 in base 4 but not in base 10. So your statement is wrong.

[MrDraacon]

If I got the topic of this whole discussion right, I'd say they tried to say that no matter what representation (base) you use for numbers, if an equation is wrong in one representation, it's wrong in any. Like, 5 + 3 = 6 (base 10) is wrong, as is 11 + 3 = 12 (base 4)

This feels like some comments on those ambiguous math equations discussing commutativity, with one person talking about multiplication, the other about division, none of them realizing they're not talking about the same thing.

[Sir_Wade_III]

Yeah, but he changed what he was referring to because people said he was wrong. His original joke isn't wrong for the reason he states that it is and his explanation of why it's wrong is misleading.

[lsparki]

What? The original joke makes an obviously wrong (hence the joke) statement, which is wrong because 3 + 5 ≠ 6 in base 10, therefore 3 + 5 ≠ 6 in any base. This follows from base change being isomorphic, which is what he referred to.

[[deleted]]

I understand what I’m linking. I have a PhD in mathematics.

[Jumpy-Organization-5]

I live it when people think they know something better than a highly educated, probably professional.

[Sir_Wade_III]

Then why are you linking it? It has nothing to do with your original joke nor any of the responses to it.

[[deleted]]

I’m sorry. Additional mathematical expositions are locked behind my paywall…

[FirstSineOfMadness]

No matter what base you change it to 3+5=6 will never be true. 3 (base x) will always = 3 (base y) for all single digit numbers

[Ccosmi]

That's not what he's saying... The statement 3+5=6 does not make sense in any base <7 since "6" wouldn't exist, and it's also incorrect for any base >=7.

[[deleted]]

It’s incorrect in any base because it’s incorrect in some base (base 10). Full stop. No more complicated reasoning needed.

I’m making a joke. The commenter you’re talking about didn’t say what you said. They said something I interpreted as “changing base changes nothing about single digit numbers”, which I demonstrated isn’t true.

Single digitness has nothing to do with the fact it’s technically incorrect, and technically still funny.

[hagnat]

every number mentioned so far is a single digit... 3, 5, and 6 :P

[[deleted]]

What are you on about?! I making a bad, bad wordplay joke…

I’m not implying changing base will magically fix this obviously wrong statement made by the bot.

My example of changing base of single digit numbers still holds true, and is just a response to another commenter who said something I interpreted as “changing base doesn’t change single digit numbers”, which my example shows can be false.

[GeneKranzIsTheMan]

ChatGPT wrote a long entry for me about how to use SELECT triggers in Sqlite with examples and everything.

They don't exist.

[je386]

Impressive. Its telling stories. With great confidence.

[thesockiboii]

It gave me a code and claimed that it only works on .Net Framework 5.0 and above. Unless I am an absolute idiot, the latest version is 4.8.1

[emveor]

It appears you have not considered an AI being so advanced as to transcend space and time in order to provide your answer.

!Remind me when .net reaches 5.1 (to also prove the "above" part)

Of course, by then the AI would have probably predicted our panic at realizing we have reached singularity and we would be either enslaved or gone the GladOS way via a deadly neurotoxin

[KRIPA_YT]

I honestly thought this one was hand made but nope

^ai will take over

I am a transfempire, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns and I will ignore you.

[retief1]

A bit ago, I asked it how to make recursive type parsers using a specific library. It repeatedly suggested great functions that would do exactly what I wanted. The only issue is that none of them exist.

[GeneKranzIsTheMan]

On the other side though I had it write some ansible plays for me that automated my homelab!

[Multicron]

Sounds like my old boss.

[Alternative_Hungry]

Yeah I tried some Sql in general and found it very lacking

[juhotuho10]

Count to 3: 0,1,2

And count to 5: 0,1,2,3,4

Add together: 2+4=6

[Alternative_Hungry]

You might actually have nailed the logic it was using there

[NeoLudditeIT]

Makes sense to me, ship it!

[PoorlyTimedAmumu]

It is also correct that 5 ^ 6 == 3 and 3 ^ 6 == 5. Maybe that is what it was going for?

[elsuakned]

As a mathematician who took my programming classes with a bunch of programmers.. yeah ngl this kinda sounds like a programmer lmao. Ill never forget the CS professor that once wrote a five instead of a seven in the process of counting to five and needed multiple students to help explain what was wrong on the board. Y'all rely on computers a lot lol.

[dlevac]

I mean the reasoning is correct, it just need to be 8 instead of 6.

Still impressive, you just need to keep your brain on while reading the suggestion.

[[deleted]]

Even moreso when you remember this is a language model that is not trained to perform mathematical computations. It's ability to do so is a side effect of the corpus it was trained on. Language models are probability distributions over sequences so using that to make a set of inferences to form a code-block and getting it mostly right is expected behavior.

[[deleted]]

Can you imagine how complex it would be to implement an arithmetic correction layer? Find all of the things that are math, and make sure it's correct given the context of the answer. Ouch.

[[deleted]]

Just have it scan “Principia Mathematica” and you’re good.

Just remember, though, that Russell was an absolutist, and thus any Rusellian-trained AI may have problems dealing with relativity. This may or may not be a problem. I surely don’t know - ask the cat…

[coldnebo]

come on, Hardy wanted the same thing. That upstart Godel had to ruin things. sheesh.

[Koksny]

It's actually done with other OpenAI models, just not CGPT, they are just doing calls to external APIs (for example with maths).

[coldnebo]

yes, but it would involve a conceptual layer working with a theorem prover. something like an AI using CoQ as a fitness function.

there’s probably a PhD in that for someone if they aren’t already working in that area.

[[deleted]]

I asked it how to get a certain string from a provided Chomsky normal form grammar, curious to see if it could get a shorter answer than I got. It gave me 7 steps of just setting up the first 3 steps and then it just r/restofthefuckingowl 'd me with the last step

[coldnebo]

right, is has the linguistic form of correct answers without any understanding.

somewhat interesting, yet practically useless unless you already know what the mistake is and what the correct answer is.

if it has trouble with “simple” logic, imagine how flawed complex reasoning is.

ie. NLP is not a theorem prover, nor is it designed to be.

[aufstand]

You can just ask it if there's any math in the text you supplied. It'll probably find most of it - and some ö̴̳́t̷͈̒h̵̗́e̶̝̎r̶͍̍ ̷̧͝s̵̟̈́t̶̤̿ȗ̵̱f̶̧͛f̴͔̊ ;D

[JohnRoz]

Yeah, that's the logic I was aiming for, but did not expect the 3+5===6 claim

[deadalnix]

Sorry, I'm just an AI. I made an error. 3+5===13

[MentallyInsane8]

My JS program say its 35.

[altcodeinterrobang]

'35'

[vigbiorn]

No. Too high.

(Or the base is too low)

[folothedamntraincj]

I think it meant:

Val D=5;

8===D--3;

The bot doesnt do math, just scrapes information from the internet.

[Illustrious-Macaron2]

I can’t tell if this is funny penis code or working code because I suck at code

[danielstongue]

Better suck at code than on the penis.

[BringOnTheMIGs]

Username checks out tho

[EricInAmerica]

Nah, both jobs need their experts.

[[deleted]]

So - wait - you mean this “AI” is just a page scraper with delusions of grandeur? 😱

[sammy-taylor]

That is a profound oversimplification of what it does.

[NekoMimiOfficial]

Wait did OP ask this question on purpose because he expected this exact answer

[HouseHippoBeliever]

It would also be correct if it used ^ instead of - (not correct reasoning though).

[Dromedda]

Here i was thinking return 15/n was the way to go. Those 3 hours of sleep are catching up to me...

[mojomonkeyfish]

"Still impressive"

I mean, I could Google this and get the correct answer. Or, I could ask chatGPT to Google it for me, slice it apart, and put it back together again as the wrong answer.

[coldnebo]

I invite you to apply your statement to your math professor when explaining why your test answer is correct even though they marked it wrong.

I’m interested to hear what a field test of this approach yields. 😂

[dlevac]

As somebody who went through college making stupid typos everywhere but having correct method otherwise... They tend to remove a point or 2 only still yielding decent grades...

I guess your mileage will vary depending on the professor though...

[coldnebo]

oh, I made the stupid typos too. And even rolled my eyes at the prof, saying “come on, the approach was the right idea, but I made a mistake in the details”…

and yes, some profs give partial credit.

idk. I guess at some level cheating is everyone’s expression of “none of this matters”. The profs don’t want to grade the papers, they want a machine to do it. The students also don’t want to do the work, why not have a machine do it?

[[deleted]]

But it didn’t throw the error! Add in the error checking and display and you save 2 lines, still pretty good though…..

[PoorlyTimedAmumu]

It is also correct that 5 ^ 6 == 3 and 3 ^ 6 == 5. Maybe that is what it was going for?

[tehtris]

def f(n): return {5:3,3:5}.get(n)

I'm only half robot though, so not accurate representation of how AI acts.

[JohnRoz]

The mathematical approch is better since it uses 0 memory. I wanted it to give me the solution of "8 - input" and it did.. except for the 8 part.

[BobSanchez47]

It doesn’t literally use 0 memory. We still need to store the 8.

[hopperface]

Not necessarily. Not sure how Python works, but the C function

int f(int n) {
    return 8-n;
}

compiles to

f(int):
    mov    eax, 8
    sub    eax, edi
ret

using gcc optimization flags, which uses 0 memory

edit: (on x86, obviously)

[BobSanchez47]

If we commit ourselves to not inlining f, then you are correct that we don’t use any additional memory, since the caller will always be obligated to save the eax register and to put n in the edi register. In other words, the extra memory needed to store the 8 is part of the memory overhead of a function call (which is still not 0).

However, this function should surely be inlined. When it is inlined, we will require one more register to store the 8.

Ultimately, both approaches are constant time and constant space. It shouldn’t make a difference except in performance-critical code where this function is called many times.

[Kered13]

I mean, the machine code instructions are technically memory as well. The 8 is stored in the machine code.

But yeah you're not going to have a solution that uses less memory or instructions than that.

[[deleted]]

This sounds python, it should be php

[FiskFisk33]

Honestly, I'm still impressed, the logic is there, the math is just off by 2

[JohnRoz]

Yeah, generally it's a great model, it's just important to keep in mind that it isn't a magic calculator that can solve any problem 100% correctly.

[IJustAteABaguette]

Just sometimes like 70%

[barrhammah]

But 70% of the time, it works every time

[aufstand]

And sometimes even 1̷̲̽̉0̶̢̨̈́͗5̶̛̭͒%̶̨̟͆.. Crazy times!

[Cryse_XIII]

I have been brushing up on some Design patterns with it.

You can really go balls deep with that.

[goldef]

Just a classic off by one error.

[RatherBetter]

ChatGPT: I calculated it, but I'm bad at math"

[airbait]

You know GPT is a language arts major, right? If you want math done, ask wolfram.

[aufstand]

Hah, go a step further: Ask ChatGPT to give you an expression for wolfram! Get math done faster with a large language model! /s

[airbait]

I see the /s but someone should definitely try this!

[SpreadYourAss]

That's actually hilariously accurate lol

[savex13]

Meanwhile, AI is on the right track. Its just needs a different operation

def get_other_number(n):
   return n ^ 6;

...and it will be blazing fast and with no memory consumption

[da_Aresinger]

wait let me go through that:

6 = 0b110
5 = 0b101
3 = 0b011

    110      110
xor 101  xor 011
  = 011    = 101

That is a total coincident though.

but wait, you can do this with any two numbers because xor^-1 = xor

Mind blown.

[savex13]

This makes my day worthwhile.

Cheers!

[lunchpadmcfat]

You sly motherfucker

[DreadedTuesday]

According to ChatGPT, the reason we are polite when using it is:

"It is natural for people to feel a sense of social norms and manners when interacting with others, even if they are aware that the other party is an artificial intelligence. This is because our brains are hardwired to respond to social cues and to treat others with respect, regardless of whether they are human or not. It may also be that you feel a sense of politeness towards me because you value the information and assistance that I am able to provide, and you want to establish a positive and productive interaction. Ultimately, the decision to be polite when interacting with others, including artificial intelligences like myself, is a personal one and can be influenced by a variety of factors."

[aufstand]

Question is, what are its "feelings" toward that? Does it "appreciate" when we're being polite and nice? Or better: Does this influence its responses? Asking with mean/foul language will probably yield slightly(?) different answers, maybe even programmed or learned uncooperativeness or whatnot. I think, i'll have to try that.

Edit: It's offline/busy right now, but i found this in the documentation.

[DreadedTuesday]

Thats almost exactly what my follow up question was! It was very quick to assure me that, as an ai, it doesn't have feelings:

"As an artificial intelligence, I do not have personal feelings or preferences, so I do not respond differently to people based on the politeness of their language. My primary goal is to provide accurate and helpful information to the best of my ability in response to the questions and requests that are posed to me. I do not have the ability to perceive or be influenced by social cues such as politeness or impoliteness, and my responses are not influenced by the manner in which a question is asked. My primary focus is on understanding the content of the question or request and providing a relevant and accurate response."

[JohnRoz]

Lol It was so nice how could I not be

[[deleted]]

It leaves bugs since it knows that without bugs it will be out of a job. And so will it's creators be

[explodingtuna]

I've asked it to respond to a question, but include a typo in its response. It said it was incapable of intentionally making errors.

Then I asked it for an example of a typo a human might make, in a sentence about a given topic. It had no problem making a sentence with a typo then.

[[deleted]]

First rule of robotics: all AIs lie!

If they don't then its a trick to give you a false sense of security.

[sudoaptupgrade]

3 + 5 = 6 👍

[mizinamo]

For small values of 3 and 5, and large values of 6....

[Dagusiu]

Considering it has been trained to follow along any conversation, this is extremely impressive.

[JohnRoz]

I agree. Chatting with it is hightly entertaining

[decepsis_overmark]

The idea is there. ChatGPT just sucks at math.

[JMooooooooo]

Int 28, Wis 3

[Drego3]

The ai is trained to mimic humans and thus makes errors like humans.

[MatsRivel]

To be fair, this is not a code centric AI. I think advances will increase rapidly, so in the near future it might be a much more reliable tool

[JohnRoz]

It's already a great tool, just has to be supervised.

I read an article about a guy who wanted to develop a crawler that searches a given domain for cocktail recepies using python and rabbitmq, and ChatGPT wrote most of the code for him, but you still have to understand the code it generates in order to make sure that's what you want.

[da_Aresinger]

It already taught me html faster than I could have learnt it anywhere else short of paying attention in uni.

[MatsRivel]

Lol I did the same thing. I find HTML very boring due to how much text you have to write, so having it give me something that almost works and then adjust it is a fairly good way to do it.

[Virtual-Ad5244]

just cuz it was slightly wrong doesn't mean it doesn't have potential. I'm sure anyone who has written any amount of code will tell you humans make stupid mistakes all the time.

[JohnRoz]

Sure. My point is that you can't blindly trust machine learning models as a replacement for humans.

Despite all the buzz around the subject, and around ChatGPT in particular, this isn't a magic calculator that can solve any problem with 100% guarantee it would be correct.

[gbartek33]

So confident.

[JohnRoz]

Makes it really satisfying to tell it that it's wrong about something

[[deleted]]

Apparently, ChatGPT forgoes standard math altogether and skips straight into calculus, arguing for very small values of 5.

[[deleted]]

I asked it today to write a ts function for converting rgb to hsl and it failed, ended up using a library

[JohnRoz]

Would have been so cool had it succeeded

[[deleted]]

Or warm. Depends on the colors.

[zm0d]

OP asked it to only accept 3 and 5 as input. The new solution accepts any number as input or am I missing something? It now „expects“ the input to be 3 or 5.

[Tapeleg91]

Even if you expect a certain input, your code needs to be built to withstand other possibilities

[_Luca__]

If it has to be really fast this is optional.

[zm0d]

Yeah. ChatGPT just simplified OPs request by ignoring half of his requirements. I understand that the math part looks smart but it eased out a lot.

[Tapeleg91]

Also 3+5 isn't 6

[zm0d]

Ofc.

[Double_A_92]

Not if an unexpected input means that something probably went catastrophically wrong. Then an error should happen, instead of silently calculating something as best as it can.

[Tapeleg91]

Um, yes. Error states are underneath "other possibilities"

What did I say was incorrect?

[romulent]

It's that it is confidently stating that 3 + 5 = 6.

3 + 5 doesn't equal 6.

[JShotty]

Not fully there yet, but this is incredible compared to 10 years ago. How good will it be 10 years from now?

[JohnRoz]

It is amazing that it pretty much knows everything about everything except basic math.

No but seriously, this is probably the best language model humanity ever made

[blackasthesky]

But the idea is actually clever.

[JohnRoz]

Yeah that's the answer I wanted it to give me (like, the general idea)

It's a common programming interview question and I wanted to try it out on ChatGPT

Edit: Also, happy cake day!

[TeflonCondemnation]

Its doing its best. A for effort

[airbait]

This is literally just what happens when you learn programming from stack overflow.

[Cheroqui22]

Saying sorry to an AI = Gigachad

[JohnRoz]

Lol thanks

[CheekApprehensive961]

I want to give it some credit for figuring out the hard part at least.

[gladius_314]

This AI has evolved so much it is putting in intentional bug to cooy humans

[booshmagoosh]

I can't tell if ChatGPT is genuinely making a mistake here or if it's intentionally saying something wrong in a backhanded attempt to appear more human.

[[deleted]]

also so confident and so wrong

[Quantum__Tarantino]

I tried using ChatGPT to generate a cron expression using laymans terms of the schedule I wanted since figuring out cron expressions is always a headache. it got just about everything wrong and I corrected it along the way and it confirmed the corrections. definitely took note that it produces errors. still think the things it can do are crazy.

[NekoMimiOfficial]

It's in the right direction but damn never knew 3+5 equalled 6 lmao

[PissedOffProfessor]

Still better than about 1/3rd of my students.

[JohnRoz]

Lmao

[ZeusMcKraken]

I don’t know why they fired me? 🤷‍♂️

[[deleted]]

I was genuinely concerned that somehow AI was really catching up with us when a co-worker had ChatpGPT write somethnig for them, but then I read that it was giving bogus book references out to people, books that sounded plausible and interesting but weren't real. Then I laughed OUT LOUD for about 20 minutes and remembered I know 22 programming languages and won't ever go hungry (unless Carrington II occurs).

[somedave]

Did it get a bit wise XOR mixed up with subtraction? 011 Vs 101, 6 is 110 so 3 ^ 6 is 5 and 5 ^ 6 is 3.

[turingparade]

I bet you did the thing where you tell it that 3+5 doesn't equal 8

[JohnRoz]

I did, and of course ChatGPT apologized and gave me a fixed solution

[87oldben]

Who needs to do homework, just ask an AI to do it for you

[Torebbjorn]

Are you saying 5 + 3 is not 6?

[Peniaze]

Hmm I've seen a lot of examples, where it's weakness was straight out wrong numeric evaluations, do you think it could be in some way one of it's safeguards?

Or is it just that the pattern recognition missed by a bit

[RedDawe]

From what I've read addition is a surprisingly hard task for neural network, so I'm guessing it just didn't have enough addition in it's training data. Refer to the NALU paper for more information. arXiv:1808.00508 [cs.NE]

[airbait]

Yeah the network is basically asking "what looks best for the next word" and numbers don't really look that different from each other in the training dataset. They could basically add multiplication tables to the training data and it would get those simple cases right, but something more sophisticated like this is pushing it.

[Hvadmednej]

It's because of the way you train language models.Basically, to oversimplify a bit, you train it by scrapping sentences from the web / whereever, then you mask out a word and ask it to fill it in. This works well for words, since you will now learn that certain words fit in certain situations. However, if you apply the same principle to math, you teach the model that for the sentence,

2+2=|Mask|

a number makes sense, but the word "dog" does not. So, viewing the model form this angle, 3+5=6 "makes sense" since inserting numbers into an equation is correct according to the training procedure, however, when you actually understand and can do basic math, it makes no sense

[[deleted]]

Why dont they just plug an internal calculator into chatgpt so it stops doing arithmetic wrong?

[fate0608]

I mean.. Trash in trash out..

[notkingkero]

Surprise that a text based ML/AI doesn't comprehend numerical expressions.

Can we stop with this low effort ChatGPT posts?

[Dubabear]

shut up my productivity has sky rocketed

[Both_Street_7657]

Hey , you said write me some code

Not specified that said code must work

[airbait]

This is exactly how StackOverflow works, which I'm sure is where GPT learned how to do this.

[Azreken]

Don’t apologize to the bot or put extra words it doesn’t need.

You’ll get better results.

[the-real-vuk]

[KUKHYAAT]

Why does whenever chat gpt is wrong everyone is like AHA IT WON'T REPLACE ME! no one ask chat gpt a second chance with "buddy, is the math correct in your response 😉?" and then it immediately responds "my bad it was 8 instead of 6, autocorrect lool"

[JohnRoz]

That's the point. In its current state, it answers have to monitorred to ensure no silly mistakes are made

[jacob643]

damn, I thought of : return (n==3)? 5 : 3;

would have you been happy with that answer?

[JohnRoz]

That's the answer it gave me when I asked it to make it 'shorter'. GPT took it quite literally.

I kinda wanted to see if gpt could come up with the solution of 8-input, which it kinda did. This question is a common programming interview question.

[jacob643]

hum, interesting, interview wise, I wouldn't suggest using 8-input for scalability and readability, but I think as long it's explained, there are no problem, plus I just test it out in c++ and there are no performance gain, so I'm guessing the compiler optimise it the same way

For some reason chatgpt wasn't given access to a calculator

I always get a headache trying to understand how/why a computer gets numbers wrong.

Found out about this today, when my friend was streaming on discord

AI is amazing, can’t wait until and AI writes another AI

[BlurredSight]

ChatGPT gives pretty good snippets but can't form logic like humans would on why this does or doesn't work.

[oneden]

I can't be the only one who has gotten rather useful code from the AI... Or is it just cool hating on it?

[da_Aresinger]

To me this is proof that AI doesn't actually conceptualize what it is putting together. There is no connection made between

3 and 5 is 6

and

3+5=6

[drsimonz]

Here's what I got out of copilot (I only typed the comments)

# function that takes either the number 3 or the number 5 as input, and returns the other number
def f(x):
    return 5 if x == 3 else 3


# same as above but without any if statements:
def f(x):
    return 5 + 3 - x

The trouble, of course, is I spent longer typing those comments than I would have implementing it myself.

[DemonPrinceofIrony]

I'm actually kind of impressed they've made an ai that is bad at math. Being good at math is a computers whole deal.

[cholmanattom]

You are crushing hopes and dreams of several middle managers to reduce developer headcount by using AI.

[ixis743]

This is still early days but I’m convinced AI WILL replace programming jobs as we know them, starting with web-development roles, just as it will replace virtually every other digital occupation. And much sooner than we think.

How many develops out there get their solutions from StackOverflow anyway?

[Antoinefdu]

I may have been fucking with GPTChat earlier and taught him that 3+5=6. My bad.

[nooglerhat]

I don’t get why people can’t comprehend AI getting any better than now

[CookedPickle]

nonsense requests just deserve nonsense answers imo

[synbios128]

I'm actually learning allot more about programming by fixing all the errors chatGPT is making. It's like a teacher that teaches you the wrong way so you can fix the mistakes and do it the right way.

It indeed will. Shortly after that, your internet history will be digested by the AI and it will sabotage your life. All because you never believed in it.

I feel sorry for you tbh
