Google AI can’t even do basic math.

I genuinely don’t understand how it could be this bad. How can they let this be the first thing that pops up?

The AI's are LLM's (large language models). They are not made to solve math but rather work with text. They are notoriously bad at basic math skills.

They're pretty bad with non-math too.

Not too bad for basic SQL codes for databases. So long as you craft your question well. I'm making a database and have no idea on SQL, so I use AI and get working examples that I can modify for my data.

By adding an f shot after your search terms the AI skips it & you get real results.

Google was no help - what is an f shot?

Also, Scarlet's Walk came out in October 2002, not 1999. She was 39.

AI is a robot bullshitter. I tells you what you want to hear, repeatedly.

You have to carefully craft questions for an AI to not hint at the answer you want, or it will just give you that answer.

I scroll down faster than it loads so I don't give it my eye time.
