Indeed. That's why I am doubtful about LLMs, they just aren't doing something particularly well or solving a basic problem. No one in their right mind would let an LLM do their accounting. Just today I was looking something up and that AI summary was just so wrong. How can I trust it with anything important?


Accounting is integer arithmetic.

Geometry is more or less floating point arithmetic and trigonometry.

LLMs are very lossy text compression. Just like JPEG and MP3 it helps with distilling down the text of the entire Internet in some way.

We can even get reddit recommendations for putting glue onto pizza.


You can't judge AI in general and LLMs in particular by the abysmal Google summaries.
