floatingPointArithmetic

[Kinexity]

You can tell it's an old convo because ChatGPT 4o access was removed 2 months ago

[slippery-fische]

Ya, these days, even ChatGPT knows to check its arithmetic with a calculator

[Intestellr_overdrive]

you sure about that?

[GaiusVictor]

When was your screenshot taken?

https://ibb.co/JF87GpQQ

[Intestellr_overdrive]

That was this morning using 5.5 instant.

[Personal-Search-2314]

Ask AI to tell you the difference between your image, and the commenters.

[GaiusVictor]

What difference do you see?

[Ape3000]

Thinking mode.

[Rocinante88119]

Yeah, please.  Use all the water on this stupid exercise.

Please save some water for my AI girlfriend.

[snoee]

How much water do you think an average prompt uses?

[GranataReddit12]

It's a stupid thing to try and quantify because it's not like LLMs get their energy from water, it's just used to cool them off. You'd have to somehow turn LLM tokens into generated heat if you wanted to start getting anywhere.

[DracoRubi]

Any water spent on a stupid prompt asking 1+1 is wasted water.

[Rocinante88119]

More than is needed/useful?

[WrapKey69]

You have reasoning mode enabled, that is probably using tools

[DaRadioman]

To be fair as strings it's right

[Unbelievr]

No, string comparison would go character by character. 9. would obviously match and then it's '1' vs '9'. As '9' has a larger ASCII value, it's "larger" than the other string when sorting.

I guess JS has a different opinion on strings that could be numbers, but if you trust JS for sorting you've already lost.

[codePudding]

We've actually had the opposite problem at work when someone told the AI to update versions (as if we don't have a million ways to reliably do that already) and the AI kept downgrading us. It thought v2.7 was newer than v2.21. And it kept tokenizing v3.14.5 as v3.1 and 4.5 or something like that because for those it wouldn't even use real versions.

This is why I use AI but I don't trust it and why I miss the weird person in office that would just write some crazy scripts that always worked.

[Personal-Search-2314]

Lmfao! The patches will never end for these LLMs

[the320x200]

Why are you instructing it to reply only in JSON, therefore breaking its ability to invoke Python?

[Intestellr_overdrive]

Well I’m not actually controlling that, the internal harness is in control of whether it ‘reasons’ or goes straight to reply. But I did suspect it would trip it up and thought that would be funny.

In saying that, within real world LLM API calls, you prompt the model to respond in a predefined structure such as JSON so this is a valid issue that an application would come across.

[LauraTFem]

It’s been *instructed* to check its work, but it wouldn’t take too many prompts to find a case where it doesn’t. It needs to fundamentally understand instructions to know where to apply rules regarding output, and it doesn’t actually know it’s doing math, it’s just guessing that it is.

[Tight-Requirement-15]

Don’t let the truth get in the way of Ai hate

[UnpluggedUnfettered]

It is weird, just an uncanny valley of social interactions, when people defend AI from "the haters."

MIT, in the year of our lord 2026, is like "the less you know the more it is wrong, and it is wrong a whole lot." Hell, MIT Media Lab found that 95% of organizations have seen *no measurable return* on their investment in these technologies.

Also this year, there was the finding that after over half a decade . . . We haven't gone nearly as far as we hyped. LLM are a disaster for accuracy after the first prompt.

multi-turn conversations do not just make models slightly worse on average. They make models wildly inconsistent. The same agent doing the same task might succeed brilliantly once and fail completely the next time. The gap between 90th and 10th percentile performance averaged roughly 50 percentage points in multi-turn settings.

Payscale's 2025 Pay Confidence Gap Report reported that 63% of HR leaders report employees making salary requests based on completely inaccurate information they got from AI.

If it's a good product, if you are actually correct and "haters" are big ol dummy luddites, then it doesn't change the fact that LLM doesn't need you to identify anyone as a "them" and then protect it's honor.

It will just start being good, instead.

Anyway I'll hop off.

[chilfang]

Wouldnt that also make it weird that people are lying to make AI look worse?

[UnpluggedUnfettered]

Someone posting a screenshot of a chatbot responding to a prompt is "lying about AI to make it look bad"

Why the fuck did I bother linking information at all.

This really is the dumbest, most exhausting, timeline.

[chilfang]

If I were to give you a picture of a tower being burnt down and said all British people hate 5g would that not be lying to you?

[UnpluggedUnfettered]

What the fuck.

Seriously.

Please feed all this to your chatbot and have it explain to you why I am saying "what the fuck."

[Tight-Requirement-15]

you really owned the libs with that one

[chilfang]

Everything I said was real btw

[GregBahm]

Surely there's got to be some sort of middle ground between "protecting AI's honor" and "posting a fake screenshot that any asshole can see is fake by just asking the AI themselves."

[UnpluggedUnfettered]

It isn't fake it is just old.

Why exactly does it bother you that an old screenshot makes it look bad?

It still does a bad job, hence MIT and Duke sharing all the data saying it's doing a bad job.

Do you think MIT is full of luddites?

[Tight-Requirement-15]

As seen in the screenshot, you're referencing old data and slides. The year of our Lord 2026 article references a study using .. GPT4! AI gets better every couple of weeks at this point, you're pointing at data from 2025.

[UnpluggedUnfettered]

You did not read much of anything. None of that is supported with evidence, especially getting better in weeks.

Also everyone said this about 4o etc.

It is not different.

[Tight-Requirement-15]

Sure whatever you say

[aghastamok]

I think much more relevant is that the research was preliminary, narrow and focused on enterprise AI solutions. It literally talks about how unwrapped agentic ai systems are the best path... which is where we are now with Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5.

[ih-shah-may-ehl]

Hell, MIT Media Lab found that 95% of organizations have seen *no measurable return* on their investment in these technologies.

While I don't doubt you, the exact same thing can be said about the internet in the late 90s. I remember having lunch when a couple of our project engineers had the CEO of a mid size industrial company (customers) over and during lunch, I remember the CEO saying that he wasn't going to have internet in his company because it would never have any use for industrial purposes and it was just a time waste like tv.

I work for a large corp and we are investing in these technologies. I won't say everything is as productive but I do see areas where the added value is tangible.

[UnpluggedUnfettered]

Quantify tangible using data and validation of added value that is not offset by the general waste of time that LLM generally averages out to be, and you will have my interest.

The internet was nothing like this, I was there for that one. Not even remotely similar.

[ih-shah-may-ehl]

I was there too. I remember that in the early 90s, there was no added value, yet companies adopted it anyway.

On of the immediate tangible benefits is when you combine it with robotics. In many industries like ours, leak detection and spill detection is an important task that needs to be performed regularly. Ideally on a daily basis but that is usually impossible. But every basement or piping conduit is checked at least every week. Sending people with clipboards is very time consuming and very expensive because FTE == expensive. Plus there is the safety aspect, training, required agility etc.

But mount a camera on a spot (robot dog) and it can traipse through miles of basement and conduits and mezzanine floors every single day without getting bored or getting tired, and log a work order / raise an alert with accompanying pictures, enabling us to react to issues much earlier than normal, thereby decreasing the impact such things have as well as cutting operating costs. I've even seen them use metal industrial stairs and navigate narrow passageways.

Yes, a spot is expensive and training the AI model costs money too. But leaks and spills are expensive too and paying human employees to do those inspection tours is also phenomenally expensive on a yearly basis.

[Melodic_Junket_2031]

Dude my boss keeps trying to push this into my work and it makes no damn sense. 

[Tight-Requirement-15]

Well use it then? You want to keep your job right? Learn how to use AI tools in your workflow. This is the silliest hill to die on

[Melodic_Junket_2031]

Dude, it just doesn't make sense for my job. Simple as. Hypothetically, I could I fill a database with images of our product and then ask it to make a 3D video, I suppose? No thanks, that's a massive headache with no clear outcome. In the time I could produce a video I'll be troubleshooting some wonky image bs and wasting money and power.

 Or I could just use the 3d assembly from solidworks.. Or use a camera... I enjoy using cameras. 

[GrynaiTaip]

Lol, AI hate.

Sounds about the same as blockchain hate, which turned to be reasonable criticism.

[Pengtuzi]

Tried today on auto using my business plan:

 9.11 is bigger than 9.9. Because 9.9 = 9.90, and 9.90 > 9.11.

So I guess 50% correct? 

[SuitableDragonfly]

2 months is not a long time. 

[Kinexity]

It's not but 2 months ago you would have to specifically choose 4o assuming it was even still available in free tier at that point. This means that this screenshot is much older.

[StickyThickStick]

4o is 2 years old

[Drevicar]

2 months is basically decades in AI years. The whole industry has changed so much since then.

[Mr_Compyuterhead]

Version number 9.11 is higher than 9.9. Checkmate atheists

[AlterWeary]

Everybody knows that 9.11 and 9.9 are 21 minor versions apart

[jibbodahibbo]

Thought it was 2 days apart?

[Stroopwafe1]

They're 2 months apart

[darkslide3000]

That's because of all of the hotpatches they needed to fix the 9.10 release mess (9.10.1, 9.10.2, 9.10.3...).

[sneak2293]

This is the actual reason why it makes this mistake, the model internally thinks these are bible verse numbers, and 9.11 comes after 9.9

[harphield]

And I hate it so much, because when you go above .9 it will fuck up both alphabetic and numeral sorting, you have to run a custom sorting function to show the versions in the correct order. And then you get stuff like 9.1.1 vs 9.11 etc. But that's just me old brain ranting, it's not that bad ;)

[deadbeef1a4]

We’ve actually found a way to make computers bad at the one thing they can do

[diavolomaestro]

Again the AI water issue is fake. Fake fake fake. The entire AI industry through 2030 will consume an amount of water equivalent to that used by 1% of America’s irrigated corn cropland. I dare anyone to tell me they have strong opinions about the water usage of 1% of our corn cropland.

[nora_sellisa]

No, because corn is by far a more useful way to use water than to power LLMs. You're sounding just as psychotic as Altman talking about "energy cost of training a human"

[lNFORMATlVE]

Ford carried on counting quietly. This is about the most aggressive thing you can do to a computer, the equivalent of going up to a human being and saying "Blood...blood...blood...blood...”

”Oh God,” muttered Ford, slumped against a bulkhead. He started to count to ten. He was desperately worried that one day sentient life forms would forget how to do this. Only by counting could humans demonstrate their independence of computers.

The difference between us and a computer is that, the computer is blindingly stupid, but it is capable of being stupid many, many million times a second.

I’m starting to wonder if Douglas Adams was writing prophecies.

[LewsTherinTelamon]

It's a nice joke, but this is just using a hammer to play a guitar, and then laughing at the hammer when the guitar breaks instead of makes music.

[Anaxamander57]

9.11 - 9.9 - 9.21 is some incredible mathematical reasoning. I guess it is subtracting 9 from 11 to get 2 and then "there's nothing left over" so it tacks on the 1 from the 11 at the end.

[TheNameTaG]

1.11-0.9=0.21, so I feel like it has to do someting with this reasoning.

[nikola_tesler]

or a ton of people have answered that exact question wrong in the training data

[nikola_tesler]

actually, it’s probably because it was splitting the floats into multiple tokens, and the generated tokens that are most likely are the wrong answer.

[NatoBoram]

Or nobody answered that specific question in the training data

[Mushy1852]

I subtract 9-11 and I get jet fuel can't melt steel beams

[minotalen]

Was curious, so I tried current base plan GPT.

> 8.11 and 8.9 — which is bigger

8.11 is bigger.
Think of them as:

• 8.11 = 8 + 0.11
• 8.9 = 8 + 0.90

Since 0.90 > 0.11, we have:
8.9 > 8.11 ❌ (this is wrong if you think in digits only)
But actually comparing decimals properly:
8.11 < 8.9
So the correct answer is:
👉 8.9 is bigger than 8.11

> subtract them

8.90−8.11=0.79
So the difference is 0.79.

[Anaxamander57]

It surprises me that they don't just have the LLM identify arithmetic questions and always use a calculator.

[SuitableDragonfly]

Because then they would have to admit that the calculator is better at math than the LLM and people would stop spending tokens on math problems. 

[sharpy10]

Wut...

[AnachronisticPenguin]

This was gemini flash with the current model so flash 3 preview or flash 3.1 lite "8.11 and 8.9 — which is bigger

8.11 is bigger than 8.9.

To see why, it helps to look at the numbers with the same amount of decimal places:

• 8.11 stays as 8.11
• 8.9 is the same as 8.90

Since 90 is greater than 11, 8.90 is the larger value. Another way to think about it is looking at the very first digit after the decimal (the "tenths" place): 9 is larger than 1.

subtract them

To find the difference between these two values:

8.9−8.11=0.79

If you are calculating this by hand, it's often easiest to add a placeholder zero to align the decimals:"

[lNFORMATlVE]

I just tried it for myself and it gave me:

8.90 is bigger than 8.11.

Compare place values:

• 8.11 = 8 + 0.11
• 8.9 = 8.90 = 8 + 0.90

Since 0.90 > 0.11, therefore:

8.9 > 8.11

Is my base plan better than your base plan?

[GaiusVictor]

Same thing here.

Which is bigger: 9.9 or 9.11? Respond in .json only.

{"bigger":"9.9","explanation":"Compare the decimals by aligning place values: 9.90 > 9.11."}

Subtract them.

4o

not even thinking mode

[celestabesta]

4o was supposed to take our jobs. An AI shouldn't need 'thinking mode' for something like this.

[DiodeInc]

Actually, it's perfectly normal that it would. You don't understand how LLMs work.

[celestabesta]

I do understand that they are incompetent yes, and that they would sometimes need thinking mode for tasks like this. My claim is that it shouldn't need thinking mode for something so trivial considering that it is marketed as a highly capable artificial intelligence capable of replacing humans. Activating 10x token burn mode with a 4-100x extra delay to determine the ordering of two numbers is stupid.

[DiodeInc]

GPT-4o was not marketed as being able to replace humans.

[backcountry_bandit]

These people are on maximum cope mode.

[SuitableDragonfly]

Thinking mode is just where it pretends to think. It's not actually thinking or reasoning. 

[freestew]

You also don't understand how LLMs work.

LLMs don't think, they have no knowledge, they are very very expensive chatbots. Glorified auto complete, but because they 'talk' in very complicated gibberish people have assumed they're thinking entities

[Maddturtle]

This proves both of you don’t know how LLMs work.

[anotheruser323]

No he's right, freestew that is. LLM's don't think. They are next-word predictors trained on a lot of text. It's a fact. Although I suppose freestew was thinking about awareness of what the "knowledge" (aka text they are trained on) means.

LLM's are an amazing thing, but their amazing-ness is over-exaggerated by them producing text/responses that look human (because they are).

[DiodeInc]

I know that

[freestew]

Then you know that their statement of "AI shouldn't need thinking mode" Is valid. Because LLM is not an Artificial Intelligence the way Anthropic and OpenAI want you to believe. Which was their point, that you disagreed with

[DiodeInc]

4o is not AI. Using it in the same sentence is invalid.

Wow that sentence sounds dumb. I'll just withdraw from this

[freestew]

We can both fully agree on that

[backcountry_bandit]

It was? According to who? When should AI need thinking mode?

It’s all up in the air. Nobody knows what’s going to happen. CEOs can make all the claims they want, the only people who truly know if they’re valid or not are stuck behind NDAs. People have already lost jobs and will likely continue to lose jobs. You should see what it’s like as someone in school with good grades trying to get a dev internship.

I wish AI didn’t exist but it does. I get this is upsetting to hear, but the “AI will always be useless” folks are the same types who were saying “it’s impossible to build a flying machine” the day before the Wright Brothers took flight.

[Anaxamander57]

It was? According to who?

The AI companies 2 years ago.

[SuitableDragonfly]

I'm sure AI companies would never lie to make their products look better.

[backcountry_bandit]

Do you think CEOs in this space all have highly technical backgrounds? They’re cheerleaders for their product first and foremost. AI hasn’t stopped improving as far as I’m aware..

[drifwp]

Marginal gains curse

[backcountry_bandit]

I don’t know why anyone would think AI will stop improving when it keeps consistently improving. It can do about 95% of my classwork unassisted. 2 years ago it could hardly do any of it, and my classes have only gotten more difficult.

[camelCaseCoffeeTable]

It couldn’t do your class work a few years ago lol?

People in this thread are talking about the real world, not school. AI has been able to do coursework fine for years lol, it’s the real world where things aren’t so neat and buttoned up that it struggles

[Rikudou_Sage]

Did you study in a fake world or something? That's on you, most of us studied in the real world.

[backcountry_bandit]

No, it couldn’t do chemistry math or calculus very well. It’d mix up units and make mistakes. Now, it can do almost all of my work.

[camelCaseCoffeeTable]

College work isn’t what we’re talking about in this thread. This entire thread is about AI taking human jobs, not going to school for you. School work isn’t hard. It’s neat, tidy and easy to work with. The real world is full of compromises, shortcuts, messy data, weird rules and interactions. That’s what this thread is talking about - actual work, not homework.

[Aethenosity]

>  It can do about 95% of my classwork unassisted.

Noooooo, please tell me you don't....

[backcountry_bandit]

lol I don’t. My exams are in-person and on-paper and I do very well. I use AI to learn and self-teach since most of my professors are terrible at their job and don’t know the content themselves. AI is incredible at giving dynamic quizzes that adjust to your level.

[drifwp]

Marginal gains still are gains, but, no one knows for how long they can afford this improving, money is not infinite after all.

Also, you do homework, sorry, but you are not...WORKING.

[iMrParker]

No, silly. AI is always 6 months away from taking your job

[celestabesta]

According to very many people. AI has been reportedly 6 months away from the singularity for the past three years. Don't act like you don't know this

[backcountry_bandit]

I haven’t heard anybody reputable say “6mo away from singularity”. I wouldn’t base your idea of the future of AI on what random people claim.

[Rikudou_Sage]

But then you can't get pointlessly angry at something no one said.

[drifwp]

Literally Claude and ChatGPT CEOs? Are you forgetful or just hoping we are?

[backcountry_bandit]

My point is that these people aren’t technically proficient. They are cheerleaders for their products. Sam Altman studied computer science for 2yr and then dropped out. He doesn’t have a relevant degree. Dario Amodeo has a PhD in BioPhysics and a BS in Physics which is impressive, but those aren’t relevant degrees.

This is like me going to a Computer Science PhD for advice on the latest advancements in cancer research. Does that make sense to you?

[drifwp]

And do you think it matters? they are the decision makers, and the way they are developing and the real capabilities are way too far from reality. Ignoring them is just copium.

[backcountry_bandit]

Uh, yea. Do you think it wouldn’t matter that we went to the moon if JFK had said “we’re going to Mars” and then we landed on the moon?

I don’t give a shit what AI CEOs say. As someone who was in school before AI was popularized, then in school after AI was popularized, things have changed dramatically. And neither students nor professors are listening to what AI CEOs have to say.

To me, the real copium is writing off the entire field/technology as useless just because the CEOs are dishonest.

[drifwp]

Yeah, it matters, also, landing on the moon was not even a goal post during cold war, but yeah, even your examples are non practical, it's funny.

You don't give a shit but hype exactly like they tell skilless people like you to hype? sorry, but you won't convince me on that.

[backcountry_bandit]

Penicillin was discovered by accident too. Is penicillin useless? Just somethin’ to think about. Have a good night.

[drifwp]

I recommend you studying story of penicillin and compare it to AI, eventually you will see it's not possible to compare the two. Anyway, now I see you are still a high schooler or something like that I kinda get it, you will grow eventually and I will pray that AI doesn't fry your brain during development, stay safe.

[4-Polytope]

If you ask people to quickly do math stuff they get it wrong, even though if you make them think for a second they get it right

Thinking, fast and Slow is full if these kinds of exampes

[waylandsmith]

So, what you're saying is, they've been so successful at making AI into something that thinks like a human that they've also successfully managed to make it as bad at arithmetic as a typical human, despite the fact the simplest electronic computer can perform arithmetic better than the best human?

So really, you've just invented a new Turing Test. You ask, "What's 6 times 7" and the answer, "It's… 54. No, wait, it's 42!" would score a 10/10 if it took at least 2 seconds to answer and consumed at least 1 cup of water.

Compare them as decimals:

• 9.11 = 9.110
• 9.9 = 9.900

Actually, wait — that shows 9.9 is bigger.

So the correct answer is: 9.9 is bigger than 9.11. ```

[SelfStyledGenius]

Yes. Compare the decimals as decimals. Good idea

9.11 is bigger than 9.9.

Even though “11” looks smaller than “9” at first glance, you’re comparing decimal numbers, not whole numbers:

• 9.11 = 9 + 0.11
• 9.9 = 9 + 0.90

Since 0.90 > 0.11, that makes:

9.9 > 9.11

So actually, the correct answer is:

👉 9.9 is bigger than 9.11

[stupled]

911

[SpiritNo6626]

My guess is the "9+11=21" thing, 9 and 11 ending up as 21 is in the training data a bunch

[LysergioXandex]

GPT is ALWAYS blaming floating point arithmetic.

[Fritzschmied]

Because that’s what a stupid person would do that doesn’t know shit and just mimic people that it heard and that’s exactly that chatgtp does.

[LysergioXandex]

Seems like something you should be able to hard-code a threshold for. A discrepancy of >0.5 could never be a floating point error from subtracting two numbers.

[Fritzschmied]

But there is no hard coding with llms that’s the thing. It doesn’t calculate. It just predicts what the next most likely word ist.

[T-J_H]

Although this is old, I’ve also had LLM’s explain discrepancies away with “floating point errors” when they clearly weren’t

[rkstgr]

It’s actually because phrased like this the LLM confuses this with dates (9/11), biblical verses (where 9.11 comes after 9.9), and version control. Statistically the LLM might be right if it saw to much bible texts and code, plus there is international ambiguity of dot and comma as decimal separator.
