Even if the source is 'right,' it might not pick up the context necessary to answer the question appropriately. I would consider the fact that different prompts resulted in different answers to what is effectively the same question might support that idea.

Maybe ChatGPT could actually give someone the answer of how to make meth correctly if given the right prompt, but in order to even know how to phrase it you'd need to know quite a bit of chemistry- and at that point, you could just as easily figure it out yourself with a pen and paper. That has the added upside of the DEA not kicking in your door for "just asking questions" too.

As far as calculus goes, I can imagine some of the inputs might be confusing to an AI that is not specifically trained for them since the minutiae of formatting is essential. There might be something inherent to calculus that the AI has difficulty understanding, or it might just be user error too. It's hard to say.

Edit: the other guy who responded's explanation is more correct, listen to them. My background in CS is woefully lacking, but their answer seems right based on my limited understanding of how this AI works.

Okay, so what's the alternative?

Who will define the set of metrics or indicators that will measure the degree of democracy, if not a group of 'experts' whose input is compiled together?

I do agree that they could be transparent about this (and to be fair, I haven't examined their methodology to know what their methodology and degree of transparency is), but that doesn't mean that creating a democracy index is a bad idea.

that's not the way that the system works.

You're using symbolic logic, its thinking is more like an intuition- a vastly more accurate intuition than ours, but limited nonetheless.

And the kicker? Its intuition of what words, characters etc. you are expecting to see. It doesn't really logic things out, it doesn't hold concepts of objects, numbers, mathematical operators etc.

It intuits an answer having seen a billion similar equations in the past and guesses at what characters on the keyboard you're expecting to see based on pattern matching.

Fun fact, Georgia is named after Saint George, a Christian who was martyred during the Age of the Martyrs in the 3rd/4th century.

Fun Fact #2, Saint George killed a dragon that was terrorizing a city using a lance named Ascalon. The people of the city were all so amazed that they became Christians and were baptized.
