Good point, my original query was: What is the lowest number whose value squared is between 10 and 20? I should have left it that way, which excludes infinity. Trying that now, it still gives the answer as 4. The LLM did not pick up the loophole in the question, which is what I would expect a genuinely useful AI to do.

Tried this on Copilot:

Q.What is the lowest number whose value squared is greater than 10?

A. The lowest number whose square is greater than 10 is 4.

No, the answer is ~ -3.162278

LLM assumed 'number' meant 'integer'. LLM did not consider negative numbers are less than positive ones.

In other words, the LLM responded with the most likely predicted response from the average person.

That may sometimes be acceptable for text. It is absolutely unacceptable for mathematics.

Submission + - Liquid water on Mars

radaos writes: A new analysis of seismometer data from Nasa’s Mars Insight Lander, which collected data on the planet from 2018 to 2022 has found evidence of liquid water, lots of it. The water would be rather difficult to access however, being largely at depths of 7 to 12 miles/ 11.5 to 20 km. https://www.bbc.com/news/artic...

"Pushing back against management hard is evidence that you're not working to the benefit of the company and should be fired." False. Have you seen Boeing's stock since the quality revelations came to light? Boeing could have avoided this by heeding the warnings from staff instead of punishing them.
