Once I realized this, all those inept AI laundry-folding videos became hilarious.

It can do maths. It cannot do arithmetic. And actually nowadays it seems ok at arithmetic. (It farms arithmetic out to dedicated, non-language based sub agents)
Two weeks ago I was testing a draft of a puzzle to see how ai would do on it, with a page of about fifteen maths problems ranging from basic arithmetic up to easy integrals. It got all but one correct. (So that puzzle needs adjusting…)
I think people who say this remember how it couldn’t count letters three years ago and think that’s the end of the story.
It still can’t to math or arithmetic, they have it set up so it will use tools like Wolfram or just straight python for calculation.
By their very nature they suck ass at math
You:
Is there an echo in here?
Even if I interpret you charitably, you are using the word “it” to mean “LLMs”, instead of “AI”. That isn’t valid or useful. Nobody cares very much whether specific classes of neural network are good at maths; they care whether ChatGPT is going to give them the right answer. Go waste some of OpenAI’s money right now by asking it a question on mathematics, and see whether “AI can do maths”.
This gets even more ludicrous when you look at what AI is enabling in real mathematics, rather than in arithmetic.
What an unfortunate formatting error you’ve made. Add an extra line break after your quote blocks to separate them.
