I do firmly expect ChatGPT to parse their way through math and statistics

LLMs are first and foremost billions to trillions of matrix multiplications, further, if ChatGPT and Copilot is not able to do math, then it certainly has no application for developing code that requires math, e.g. physics simulations, geometry, anything related to transforms in general i.e CSS

Another important part (maybe at this point, only supposed future benefit) of ChatGPT is the ability to summarize larger texts and documentation, to be used in a variety of ways such as summarizing financial reports, research papers, long form journalism, books, as well as developer documentation and APIs.

So if it can't do math, then ChatGPT is useless for all people, forever.
