Can chat GPT do math?

This is a question a lot of people have had,

especially people in school,

or even just if you're trying to get some quick back

of the envelope math done, right on the fly.

A lot of people want to know, can chat GPT do math.

It can do coding, it can do writing,

it can do a lot of things, but is it good at math?

And this is actually one area that chat GPT

is not good at, I would say.

In fact, to the point that it's pretty well recognized, it is pretty notoriously bad at math.

And the reason for this is because the way chat GPT works.

ChatGPT is a predictive language model, meaning all it's doing is typically predicting the next word that should come in a sentence.

And so it's not really sitting there and computing a lot of what's going on.

And again, we also see that problem with fact checking.

You know, it'll come up with lots of different facts that are not accurate.

Typically, when I find it writing stories, it's going to get the dates wrong,

it's going to get the amounts wrong, it's going to get the amounts wrong. It's going to get the

dollars wrong. And so it's definitely not very good at math. But the problem is that it can be very

convincing in its responses. So today we're going to dive into a little bit about how chat GPT works in

regards to the math side of things, looking at some strengths it has, looking at some

weaknesses, and overall at the end of the day what it can do. And then I'm going to run an actual
