Why would anyone use an LLM as calculator?
That just doesn't make sense.
It is like using a calculator as typewriter because it can spell 80085.
So what you are saying is, my car is a typewriter?
Did you just take a picture of your car's boobs at 60k/h? High speed boobs shots hahahaha
Maybe :P
It's a legal requirement when your car hits 80085 that you must take a photo, it supersedes all other laws.
Microsoft might agree with this.
Yes, they can sell your driving habits to insurance companies, so yes. What was the question?
I did this with my car when I got to that point and sent it to my girlfriend, but I photoshopped it so it said I was going over 100. Anyway I thought it was funny.
I was in the car with my missus, every 2 seconds she was making sure I hadn't missed the big moment. She's a good egg.
Keep her!
That's the plan! Married 13 years this year 😊
To waste electric energy. All those power plants produce immense amounts of energy that needs to be consumed. If we didn't have LLMs, the pollution of those plants would be for nothing. At least now, there is an attempt to put it in good use.
Heh heh 80085
High brow humour indeed
Well, there is a use case.
I don't know much about statistics. I can (i assume) as the ai questions in natural language that I would otherwise have to research how to calculate.
Of course, I may get a result, but I won't be any smarter. If that was the goal, then great.
