Reply to comment by Available_Lion_652 in [D] GPT-4 is really dumb by [deleted]

The title is "[D] GPT-4 is really dumb" and what would be accurate is "[D] GPT-4 is bad at math problems". This was a known issue with GPT 3.5 and I expect it to continue to be an issue. but I think it's a mischaracterization to say it's "dumb" when there are a number of non-mathematical applications where it's impressive so far.

So while my statement was a simplification, I stand by the intention. You are evaluating a tool based on an application I don't think it's meant for.

Good remarks. This is my first post on this reddit. I didn't know what title to give. I was angry at ClosedAI for not revealing models details and dataset details.

There's a lot of hype and misinformation going around right now, thus the sassy remarks.

This is the best post I've seen about how it works behind the scenes. We shouldn't expect fancy autocomplete to be good at math.
