      How ironic… people now need to learn a computer language in order to understand the computer? (instead of so that the computer can understand people)

        I get how chat GPT works [really I don’t] but what I don’t get is why they don’t put add ons into it.

        Like a: is this a math question? Okay it goes to the wolfram alpha system otherwise it goes to the LLM.

          That would only solve the purely math parts. So it would solve “2+2=?”, but it would not solve “two plus two equals?”.

          And even if it did, don’t miss the fact that this is an indicator of more foundational problems that lie beneath. Like if you ever wake up and your clock is wrong, you might want to find out why - perhaps its battery is low, and if so, it will never get any better as long as you and it live, until you deal with that. Or maybe you had a power outage, and a bunch of things could have gone wrong in relation to that (is your pilot light out, are you now leaking gas everywhere?)

          Here’s a funny popular-culture take on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VemLkVbsmz0.
