It's great to see a _real_ AI application among all this media noise ;-).

Seriously though, this is wonderful satire. I asked 88x10 and it returned an HTML meta tag.

This is about as funny and original as feeding natural language to an actual calculator app and watching it syntax error.

I think they might be making a joke about how JavaScript can act surprisingly when `+` operator is used with strings/arrays in combination with numbers

Cue the comments about criticism of this calculator being unfair as thinking, for example, that 88*10 = 888 is a ‘very human’ mistake to make.

Not really; there is some asymmetry. One could at least hope (as many seemingly have) that natural language systems like LLMs could also cope with formal reasoning and calculation, but you’d be an idiot to think it goes the other way.

this is just using a shitty model:

calcgpt:

input: 88×66

output: 5184

chatgpt:

input: 88×66

output: 88 × 66 equals 5808.
