Andri Burkov: People who test language models on math problems would also test a hammer on how well it drives screws.

Chat-gpt, an AI language model, was recently exposed for a fundamental mistake in their basic math operations of the proximity matrix. The error was brought to light by a Rend data scientist, who was working on an educational example of proximity matrix in an agglomerative algorithm using Euclidean distance. Upon reviewing Chat-gpt’s output, the data scientist noticed that the calculation of the distance between two points was incorrect due to a math error in the formula. The mistake put the very nature of AI under question and caused a scandal in the data science community. Chat-gpt was forced to issue a public apology and outline steps to prevent similar errors from happening in the future.
