The more I look at it, the more I feel like my brain is being hacked.

    This a great visualization of what LLMs are about. The purpose of a LLM is to produce something that looks right. The way this math sheet looks great at first look, but the actual content is just garbage, same do LLMs create output that sounds right and it doesn’t really matter if it is. And improving LLMs is not about making the answers more reliable, it’s about making them sound even more convincing.

      But the worst thing is that some of the things are correct:

      a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)
      a²+b²=c²

      And these are common knowledge. This makes it even worse, since you have some correct parts to “prove” the rest is also correct.

      If we improve LLMs they will be able to remove that “+” at the end, so you won’t know it’s wrong until second glance.

      There is enough of it that randomly being right was likely.

      But being partially right is even worse, since someone might recognize the right parts and think the rest must be correct too.

    Facebook is so screwed.

    Like, I didn’t think anything could kill the Behemoth, then Zuckerberg says hold my beer.

      I’m feeling like we’re the last generation to have had the privilege to live in a world where knowledge was valued, rather than the appearance of knowledge.

      The masses don’t seem to care if something is right, but don’t take them for no damn fools!

        Nah, it was always the appearance of knowledge, it’s just never been this easy to produce it in these quantities

      Almost all of it is wrong or just off/weird. It accidentally gets a few things correct, but notice how often things are repeated randomly. Remember your SOHCAHTOA and look at the triangle and the trig definitions it’s giving.

      The third equation under “Calculus” is giving the quotient rule where it should be giving the product rule.

      It looks like it’s trying to do power rule for integrals, not sure what’s going on in that section.

      That bottom right graph looks like x^3, not x^2.

      y=e^x is not the unit circle.

      The section under discriminant is an illegible mess.

      How to factor… I have no idea what is going on there.

      The distance formula is wrong.

      They rendered pi as “n.”

      This is completely meaningless and worthless.

            There don’t seem to be any good math pages on Facebook. I’d like some sort of “daily brain teaser” but it’s all ambiguously written arithmetic problems with parentheses and division, or shit like using “e” as a variable to be obnoxious.
