Yes, but most of the paid “LLMs” are not actually just LLMs, they have specific aritimetic modules that end up being activated for most math questions that actual LLMs suck at, however are pretty easy for arithmetic modules, like simple calculations, unit conversions, etc…
So yeah, any edge “LLM” tool currently will always get the original question asked here CORRECT even on the free tiers, you can test it yourself on Google Search itself in “AI mode”, on ChatGPT, or DeepSeek…
So you are technically correctly in saying that LLMs suck and cannot be trusted for math in almost any case. However you are wrong on implying that ChatGPT, or other commercial models are just LLMs, they are not.
P.S.: I’m not condoning the use of AI to resolve math related questiona, nor saying that their replies should be trusted, just stating the fact that actual “AI” products use more than just a large language model to generate their responses, and for math related questions most “AI” today will get arithmetic question answered correctly NOT DEPENDING on having training for the exact questiona being asked since they can identify a math arithmetic question being asked and instead of trying to fully generate the answer with the model itself, which would lack the training data to be able to process such wide range of possible question, they generate placeholders internally and let a arithmetic like module do the calculations, which take negligible processing power to be cacoulated by CPUs.
The question I have to ask is, computers have been doing math since the very beginning, and now we are wasting a shit ton of resources (and giving every shred of info to billionaires so they can hold it hostage) to do the same math even worse when that is what the computer was designed for. Has everyone forgotten the purpose of the computer or something? I feel like I’m taking Crazy pills.
Almost everything llm supercomputers do has already been done. It is the least innovative thing. If you take ANYTHING and shove a trillion dollar supercomputer at it, of course its going to be surface level impressive to simpletons. I just do not understand any of the hype. Its not exciting or new. Hell, vr was more interesting than this and that had already been done decades before the oculus and index popularized it. I’m real sick of these bandwagoners pretending they know tech when all they know is corporate overlord advertising.
Not ranting at you ruan but just screaming into the void to be ignored by the mass populace, as per usual.
