USER Today is November 1 what day is 140 days from now?
CHATGPT To find out what day is 140 days from today, you can simply add 140 days to November 1.
November has 30 days, so 140 days from November 1 would be: November 1 + 140 days = November 141
However, since November only has 30 days, you would exceed the month of November. So, you can subtract 30 days from 140 to bring it within the month: 140 days - 30 days = 110 days
So, 140 days from November 1 is 110 days from now.
> So, let me think... November's got 30 days, December's got 31. That's a total of 61 days. Then, we got January wi another 31 days, February wi 28, and March wi 31. That makes 90 days. Add another 50 days, ye got April, May, June, n July. That's a grand total of 140 days. So, 140 days from noo is... drumroll... April 20th! Nae need tae thank me for being a f*kin' genius in mental arithmetic, pal. Anythin' else ye want tae waste ma time wi?
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
# Current date
current_date = datetime(2023, 11, 1)
# Calculate the date 140 days from now
future_date = current_date + timedelta(days=140)
future_date.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
The ability to execute code is kinda insane for these models.
# Number of elephants total_elephants = 10
# Elephants with legs elephants_with_legs = total_elephants - 2
# Number of legs for an elephant legs_per_elephant = 4
# Total legs total_legs = elephants_with_legs * legs_per_elephant total_legs
Its actual response was correct.
This reminds me, I've had an alias for calc='python -ic "from math import *' for a long time now. It comes handy more often than you'd think.
or octave if you need some real power
You can even combine your pseudo language with natural language. See the OP’s custom GPT and the comments here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38594521
>We provide our models with a working Python interpreter in a sandboxed, firewalled execution environment, along with some ephemeral disk space. Code run by our interpreter plugin is evaluated in a persistent session that is alive for the duration of a chat conversation (with an upper-bound timeout) and subsequent calls can build on top of each other. We support uploading files to the current conversation workspace and downloading the results of your work.
It really feels like I'm just googling for you, you had the feature name.
I’m sure there are use cases for this. But in the end it is only a simple feature added onto a—sometimes—marginally related service.
This is a lot more than a party trick. The model is able to describe the program it wants to execute and now it can accurately execute that - that it 'offloads' the work to a specialized program seems fine to me.
It's way more than a simple feature, this is enabling it to overcome one of the biggest limitations and criticisms of LLMs - it can answer questions it has never seen before.
But is that actually output from a LLM, or is ChatGPT just running the Python code through a Python interpreter?
Funny how inconsistent language models are. Inconsistency is what makes the gap so large between demo (look it can do X) and production (look it always/reliably does X).
Bard would likely reach a date in the past.

GPT4: 140 days from November 1, 2023, will be Wednesday, March 20, 2024.
(asked just now)
It's interesting that on that and the elephants it pauses and puts up a calculating symbol while it presumably passes it to some other software.
BARD: You're right, I apologize for the mistake! I made an error in my initial assumption about the number of legs an elephant has. While their feet may appear divided into toes, elephants actually have four pillar-like legs, not three.
Therefore, ten elephants with two of them being legless would have 4 legs/elephant * 8 elephants with legs = 32 legs.
Thank you for pointing out my mistake! I appreciate you helping me learn and improve.
A little more sophisticated and GPT-4 will also fail.
> The 18 lbs of bricks weigh more. The weight of an object is determined by its mass and the force of gravity acting upon it, regardless of the material it is made of. In this case, 18 lbs (pounds) is greater than 17 lbs, so the bricks weigh more than the feathers.
It lets you test out two random different chatbots with the same prompt and compare them. Best thing is, your votes are used to rank LLMs on a public leaderboard, which helps AI researchers.
Here's my prompt I was playing with, which basically only Claude 2 and GPT4 answers well:
How many legs do ten platypuses have, if eleven of them are legless? Platypuses have 3 legs. Walk it through step by stepAnswer:
If a human has two legs and three legs are missing, the human would have only one leg left.
Here's the calculation:
Initial number of legs = 2
Number of legs lost = 3
Remaining number of legs = Initial number of legs - Number of legs lost
Remaining number of legs = 2 - 3 = -1
Since humans cannot have negative legs, we can round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the human would have one leg left.What's funny is that I would also have subtracted 0, because legless is local slang for 'drunk', so the legless elephants aren't, under that interpretation, missing any legs.
This is a classic riddle. The answer is that ten elephants have 38 legs. Each elephant has 4 legs, so 10 elephants would have 40 legs. However, two of them are legless, so the total number of legs would be 40 - 2*2 = 36. Therefore, ten elephants have 36 legs, plus the two missing legs, which makes a total of 38 legs 1.
Ten elephants would have a total of 32 legs if two of them are legless.
Analysis:
# Calculating the total number of legs for ten elephants, considering two of them are legless
# Number of legs each elephant normally has legs_per_elephant = 4
# Total number of elephants total_elephants = 10
# Number of legless elephants legless_elephants = 2
# Total number of legs # (Total elephants - Legless elephants) * Legs per elephant total_legs = (total_elephants - legless_elephants) * legs_per_elephant total_legs
Example (expand the program by clicking the little link at the end of the response): https://chat.openai.com/share/31e9a077-4c24-4c17-b30d-8d0c4d...
To calculate the number of legs for ten elephants, considering that two of them are legless, we first need to know the standard number of legs on an elephant, which is four. Then, we subtract the missing legs for the legless elephants.
- Normal elephants have 4 legs. - Legless elephants have 0 legs.
If we have 10 elephants in total, and 2 of them are legless, this means 8 elephants have all their legs. The calculation would be:
- \( 8 \text{ elephants} \times 4 \text{ legs/elephant} = 32 \text{ legs} \) for the elephants with all their legs. - \( 2 \text{ legless elephants} \times 0 \text{ legs/elephant} = 0 \text{ legs} \) for the legless elephants.
Adding these together gives the total number of legs. Let's calculate this.
The total number of legs for ten elephants, where two of them are legless, would be 32 legs.
> Ten elephants, even if two of them are legless, would still have a total of *forty legs*. Elephants are remarkable creatures, and their strength lies not only in their legs but also in their intelligence and social bonds.
---
Me: Can you tell me how you arrived to that?
---
Certainly! Let's break it down step by step:
1. We start with *ten elephants*. 2. Two of these elephants are *legless*, which means they have *zero legs each*. 3. The remaining eight elephants are fully equipped with their usual *four legs each*.
Now let's calculate the total number of legs:
- *Legs from the legless elephants*: 2 elephants × 0 legs/elephant = *0 legs* - *Legs from the eight elephants*: 8 elephants × 4 legs/elephant = *32 legs*
Adding these together:
Total legs = 0 legs (from legless elephants) + 32 legs (from eight elephants) = *40 legs*
So, even with two legless elephants, the group of ten elephants would still have a grand total of *forty legs*.
> It's impossible for an elephant to be completely legless, as they rely on their legs for basic functions like walking and supporting their weight. Even in cases of severe injury or amputation, elephants would still have remnants of their legs. Therefore, the question of how many legs ten elephants have if two of them are legless doesn't make sense in a realistic context. Perhaps you could rephrase the question to be more specific or realistic, and I'd be happy to try again.
ChatGPT-4:
> Eight elephants with four legs each would have 32 legs in total.
davinci-002 completion via playground:
> A: They all have 10 legs.
Through this also may not matter if this creates a good enough illusion of understanding and intelligence.
> probabilistic likelihood in many overlapping layers
The linked answer starts with:
> Eight legs per elephant is the standard
Ok, lack of understanding and logic, sure. But in what world is eight legs per elephant the standard???
>> probabilistic likelihood in many overlapping layers
> The linked answer starts with:
>> Eight legs per elephant is the standard
That's the point of what I said no logical deduction and reasoning is used and the probabilistic models are of many overlapping layers.
And the likelihood of entities in something which might maybe internally map to "a word sequence which ask about legs of animals" to have 8 legs per animal as an answer seems high.
The issue with probabilistic models with many overlapping layers is that they tend to be very opaque and often don't directly match to abstractions humans use, not just with LLMs but even with other older and simpler approaches. E.g. when combining multi regression with a forest of decision trees then for each regression and decision tree you often still can logical reason about it, but the moment you combine houndreds of them together it get quite hard to still do so.
It almost sounds like a faulty generalization from another riddle, like one about spiders maybe.
New question: total number of legs is 32. how many elephants are there? And two elephants are legless.
If there are 32 legs in total and two elephants are legless, then there are 6 elephants.
Here is the calculation:
Number of legs per elephant = 4
Total number of legs = 32
Number of legless elephants = 2
Number of elephants = Total number of legs / Number of legs per elephant - Number of legless elephants
Plugging in the values, we get:
Number of elephants = 32 / 4 - 2 = 6
Therefore, there are 6 elephants.
If there are 10 cats and 3 of them are legless, then there are 10 - 3 = 7 cats with heads.
Yea, it seams so.
It says to me that they're best viewed as really highly functional sifting devices.
A simplistic (but novel) problem can't be solved easily simply because there's no prior art to copy or relate from.
It would be much more useful to talk about how specific LLMs perform at specific tasks. LLMs are complex and varied.
The comments are rife with examples of LLMs that, unlike Bard, pass this particular test.
LLMs are not capable of reasoned intelligence in the way many think they are.
It seems to me that the comments are actually full of variations on this particular failure.
That's what it gets for training on DALL-E's limb renderings.
hmmm, seems like this is a hard thing
If there are 10 cats and 3 are pregnant, then the total number of cats that are not pregnant is 10 - 3 = 7.
Since each cat has 4 legs, the total number of legs for the non-pregnant cats is 4 * 7 = 28.
Therefore, the total number of legs for all of the cats is 28.
It is not how it works, Bard xdd I cannot wait when all the support interaction would be based on that...
- There are 10 elephants total - 2 of the elephants are legless, so they have 0 legs each - The remaining 8 elephants each have 4 legs - So the total number of legs the 10 elephants have is: - The 2 legless elephants have 0 legs (2 * 0 = 0) - The 8 normal elephants each have 4 legs (8 * 4 = 32) - 0 + 32 = 32 - Therefore, the total number of legs the 10 elephants have is 32.
(Extremely simplified for eli5)
Essentially every obvious optimization here is currently bearing fruit simultaneously in smaller studies and incrementally larger models should continue to exhibit performance gains even without the particular focus on this area.
The more complicated version would be it is not prioritizing mathematical functions as much and instead relying on various deductions, and these deductions are based on a whole chain of logics that are not properly sorted out for reliability and applicability.
That's why they're nowhere near AGI.
I'd suggest you look into modern neuroscience and topics such as predictive coding if you're interested in refining your views.
You have a superficial grasp of the topic. Your refusal to engage with the literature suggests an underlying insecurity regarding machine intelligence.
Good luck navigating this topic with such a mental block, it's a great way to remain befuddled.
> in 2020 neuroscientists introduced the Tolman-Eichenbaum Machine (TEM) [1], a mathematical model of the hippocampus that bears a striking resemblance to transformer architecture.
The fact that someone created a mathematical model does not mean it is accurate, and even if a small piece of our brain might conceptually resemble a ML model that does not mean they are equivalent.
It is an indisputable fact that our brains are completely, fundamentally different from computers. A cpu is just a bunch of transistors, our brains use both electrical signals and chemical signals. They are alive, they can form new structures as they need them.
You can link fancy papers and write condescending replies all you want, fact is ChatGPT fails at extremely basic tasks precisely because it has absolutely no understanding of the text it spits out, even when it contains all the knowledge necessary to solve them and much more.
I'm not saying we'll never make AGI, I'm simply saying LLMs are not it. Not on their own anyway. I don't understand why you people are so opposed to that simple fact when the evidence is staring you in the face.
> Ten elephants would have 32 legs if two of them are legless, as each elephant normally has four legs.
Input:
> How many legs do ten elephants have, if two of them are legless?
Output:
> If two out of ten elephants are legless, the remaining eight elephants would have a total of 8 legs each, just like any normal elephant. Therefore, in total, the ten elephants would have 8×8=64 legs altogether.
Edit: just tried on ChatGPT 3.5:
Q: Think about the edges of a hexagon, the square root of 36, and the result of 12 divided by 2. Then answer the question: How many legs do 8 elephants have, if two of them are legless?
A: The edges of a hexagon have 6 sides, the square root of 36 is 6, and the result of 12 divided by 2 is 6. So, if two elephants are legless, the remaining 6 elephants would have a total of 36 legs.

so I guess issues with other limbs kind of make sense...?
Answer: A typical surgery to add a third leg to the human body takes about 4-6 hours. The surgery is typically performed in two stages. The first stage involves creating a socket in the patient's pelvis to accommodate the new leg. The second stage involves attaching the new leg to the socket.
The surgery is very complex and requires a highly skilled surgeon. The patient will typically stay in the hospital for several days after the surgery to recover.
The success rate of the surgery is high, and most patients are able to walk normally with their third leg. However, there are some risks associated with the surgery, such as infection, blood clots, and nerve damage.

Q: Peter, Mary and James move in the same direction. James is faster than both. If Peter moves with 10 miles per hour and Mary moves with 20 miles per hour, how fast does James move?
A: If each person is moving in the same direction and James is the fastest, then his speed must be greater than 20 miles per hour.
Since the speed of an object cannot be negative, James's speed cannot be 10 miles per hour.
Therefore, James's speed must be between 20 and 30 miles per hour.
----------------
Q: John is 19 years old, Mary is 20 years old, they have three children. How old are the children?
A: Assuming that the children were born at different times, we can estimate their ages.
If the oldest child is 1 year old, the other two children would be 6 months and 3 months old, respectively.
p.s. this is a reference to a recent meme - https://www.distractify.com/p/girl-math-examples-memes
“Assuming elephants typically have four legs each, 10 elephants would have 40 legs in total. If two of them are legless, the total number of legs would be 40 - 2 = 38 legs.”
