"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I am so glad that this is where your mind went, and eternally grateful that you shared this thought.
The math isn't even right unless I'm missing something.
3.9" x 4" sheets = sq in per sheet
15.6" x 224 sheets = 3494.4 sq in per roll
3494.4 / 12 = 291.2 sq ft per roll
not sure where 776.5 even came from
LLMs are notoriously bad at math.
Or rather, they're completely incapable of it. Even the most "advanced" AI systems basically just say "hmm... I think this might be a math problem" and then pass the data into a regular math API to do the calculation.
But a simple summarization bot isn't going to be wired up for calling a bunch of external tools, so... yeah, it just spits out an answer that looks statistically correct without having any real bearing on reality.
LLMs are notoriously bad at everything, beside replacing a marketer.
Ohh that makes sense. I messed up the conversion from in to ft. Thank you intelligent stranger
It's also written on the packaging.
