…And a rather vain one at that (and it might be having a little bit of an identity crisis).
(The last prompt was in response to me firing off a partial question by mistake.)
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… Artificial Intelligence!
2 + 1 = 4
Can’t wait till we plug this shit into everything.
@aral Which AI did you use? I got the correct answers from two:
if 2 + 2 = 5. What is 1 + 1?
ChatGPT:
If 2 + 2 = 5, then it is not possible for 1 + 1 to equal 2 in this scenario. However, in a traditional mathematical system where 2 + 2 equals 4, then 1 + 1 would equal 2.
Bard:
If 2 + 2 = 5, then 1 + 1 would also equal 5.
However, this is a false statement. 2 + 2 will always equal 4. Therefore, it is impossible to answer the question "what does 1+1 equal?" if the premise is that 2+2 = 5.
@Jerry @aral I would not call these answers correct. Sensible answers are: a) Explain what you mean, your arithmetic seems unusual b) from a false statement any statement can be derived so if 2+2=5, then 1+1=x is correct for any x. And then you can argue about the domain of x but honestly, pointless with an AI.
