That’s not ‘basic arithmetic’. Most humans would need a pen and paper to solve it.

GPT’s attention window is not equivalent to it being able to ‘write stuff down’ - it’s its equivalent of being able to remember the foregoing few minutes of conversation.

Stop redefining things to support your argument. "The basic operations under arithmetic are addition and subtraction, division and multiplication"

[jameshart]

Right, but when you say an LLM can’t do basic arithmetic you’re presumably talking about mental arithmetic, right?

[roflyear]

No.
