ChatGPT needs some help with math assignments
The artificial-intelligence chatbot ChatGPT has shaken educators since its November release. “I’m not hearing math instructors express concern about it," said Paul von Hippel, a professor at the University of Texas who studies data science and statistics and has written an essay about ChatGPT’s mathematical limitations. “I’m not sure it’s useful for math at all, which feels strange because mathematics was the first-use case for computing devices." ChatGPT’s struggle with math is inherent in this type of artificial intelligence, known as a large language model. “Maybe the right analogy is if you ask a room of people who have no idea what math is but have read many hieroglyphics, ‘What comes after 2+2,’ they might say, ‘Usually, we see a 4.’ That’s what ChatGPT is doing."
