This will make things more powerful and avoid the need for a language model to learn math that specialized systems can do better. And it will affect what kind of solutions ChatGPT can provide to solve exercises. | |

| Mar 24, 2023 at 22:07 | comment | added | Lawnmower Man | @JonathanReez on the contrary...ChatGPT isn't doing math, WolframAlpha is. The job of ChatGPT will be to translate whatever natural language question is posed to it, and this is where we will see how good it is. WolframAlpha itself also does a fair bit of interpreting the intention of the user, so ChatGPT only has to get "close". Now, if someone makes a Deep Learning network that replaces WolframAlpha, a la AlphaZero, we will be having an entirely different discussion that will end up with humans mathematicians becoming obsolete. | |

But many contain subtle errors, so it is better to provide ideas than to write the exercises. Honeypot) I don't want to make life difficult for the students. I want them to pass, and in order to pass I want them to learn. It's not about whether we catch them cheating, but we don't want them cheating in the first place. Critiquing) This isn't suitable for most (of our) maths exercises. Conclusion) This may happen, but the basic math courses will still be required, just as you still learn to multiply without a calculator. | |
