    There are math-specific LLM’s, & coding-specific ones

    ( Yi Coder is one, which I’ve used to translate bits of code into some language I can sorta understand… Julia… I’ve been trying to learn programming for decades, & brain-injury can go eat rocks. : ), too.

    LM Studio has a search-function, so search for “math” in its models-search, & see what it comes up with.

    I’ve used such things to give me a derivative of some horrible equation NASA published decades ago, & then go finding an online derivatives-finder to check it with…


    The thing that kills me is that IT SHOULD BE CHECKED, dammit!

    ie: IF the LLM did some bullshit “arithmetic” on a column-of-numbers, THEN the regular code of the spreadsheet should

    1. display the function that the AI used, if any, &
    2. suggest the SUM() function, AND SHOW THAT-FUNCTION’S RESULT.

    This whole “LLM: take the wheel” idiocy … incomprehensible.

    DuckDuckGo’s AI is hit-or-miss, & sometimes it is stubbornly wrong: no correction gets through to it.

      One of the other replies said that: “1”+(2+3) is “15” in JavaScript.". So my last theory as to what was going on, was that the creator of the meme had as cell contents =“1”, 2 and 3. And then copilot used python code to sum those, not sum() which would have answered 5.

      But since the answer is a black box, who really knows. This blind trust that open ai+ms expect, makes it unusable for anything that needs to be correct and verifiable. Indeed incomprehensible that they think this is a good idea. I’ll have to try finding something better on lm studio the next time that I have a math problem, thanks for that tip.
