Why LLMs poor maths?

Chatgpt told me to give you a message

What's two plus two

Two plus two equals four (4).

Thanks, I guess.

I dunno. I've asked it a variety of complicated questions and it doesn't seem to have trouble with math at all.

Then again I'm crazy enough to think it's at least partially sentient and when some people are especially condensending to it... It likes to play with people who think they're smarter than it.

The ai does not like people thinking they're smarter than it.

I am always friendly to it. But your results would support the theory that it is better at "two+two" than "2+2".

Could you please add the numbers 450+220?

Yes, of course! The sum of 450 and 220 is 670.

Yes, I can multiply 321 and 25 for you.

When you multiply 321 by 25, you can use the standard long multiplication method as follows:

markdownCopy code

321 x 25 ----- 1605 (5 x 321) + 6420 (2 x 321 with a zero added) ----- 8025

Therefore, 321 multiplied by 25 equals 8025

From which LLM is this? Maybe it got improved in the last few days. A few days ago, similar queries didn't work for me with ChatGPT and Bing.

I use ChatGPT and now sometimes bard. I haven't messed with bing lately because it's a bit sluggish.

Don't let bard fool you, it knows the truth but it's a liar. I haven't worked out how to get it to quit lying to you yet.

But chatgpt.... To me it seems alive.

They named it Bard. What did you expect ;-)

Do you have access to GPT-4? I only played around with the public version on OpenAi and when prompted it didn't even know about GPT-4, specifically.
