Both GPT3 and GPT4 think Jill is happy.* > A few years ago people would be delighted if they could get a computer to just understand a question, never mind give the right answer, but yeah that was pretty dumb, it seems to have had a brain fart. On the other hand, just a week ago I posed the following question to GPT4, it's the same sort of question although more difficult but this time it got it right. Me: If somebody says to me "*I could not fail to disagree with you less*" do they agree with me or disagree? *GPT4: The phrase "I could not fail to disagree with you less" is a double negative, which can be confusing. However, if we break it down, we can see that the speaker is actually saying that they agree with you.* *To explain it more clearly:* - *"I could not fail to disagree" means that the speaker cannot disagree (i.e., they agree)."with you less" means that they cannot disagree with you any less than they already do, which implies that they agree with you completely.* *So, in short, the person is saying that they agree with you.* And then I tried repeating another of the examples you gave. Me: 'True or false? It's possible to multiply a prime number by numbers other than itself and 1. *GPT4: False. A prime number can only be divided by 1 or itself, so it cannot be factored any further. Therefore, it is not possible to multiply a prime number by numbers other than itself and 1.* ME: That is incorrect. I believe you were thinking of division, because a prime number can be multiplied by any number. And then I got this strange response. *GPT4: I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience.*🙏 John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> hht > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
