And use a calculator ffs it comes free with whatever device you’re using to ask a chatbot.
People have to know how to create the math problem then. Schools are really falling down here

You can also get a travel bidet, if you can't permanently install one, or just want to try it out. It's basically just a squeeze bottle with a nozzle...

I know this is a meme, but for the record math is one of the things LLMs are famously worst at
Can confirm; I teach statistics and allow take home exams. I don't even really need guardrails on the math-- if you cheat via LLM, your answer is almost always hilariously wrong.
I've not used gpt for quite a while, but can't you ask to python script the evaluation?
For simple math that could work, and as long as the question is close enough to an exact match with plenty of published examples to copy.
A good rule of thumb is that the script it will come up with is about as likely to be correct as blindly taking the highest voted answer to the most similar question on Stack Overflow.
If the question is simple and common, the odds are quite good. If the question is nuanced or rare, the odds of a correct result drop off aggressively.
Edit: Your mileage may vary - providing an API to these LLMs that can do math correctly for them is pretty easy. Getting the LLM to consistently detect when to use that API is more challenging.

Yesterday I literally had to count 14 thousand pounds of fire extinguishers (as in count each extinguisher in a bunch of crates), one of my coworkers came over and said "Why don't you just use AI to count them." They then pulled out their phone, took a picture, asked AI to count them, and was off buy almost 60% on the first crate. Then went "oh, well that's just one example,"
They then tried 4 more times, being between 75% and 50% off each time. They then went "Oh, well, ummm, nevermind." and wandered off again.
(I had to count the extinguishers to make a Bill of Lading for them for shipping them out, you need an accurate count otherwise it will be held by the shipping company until you provide a correct BoL with the correct count due to legal reasons. I couldn't just weigh them and divide the total wieght by the weight of a single extinguisher as they were a bunch of different sizes mixed together. NGL it was the easiest money I've ever made at the at job.)
$10 says they still think AI is great at counting things.
NGL it was the easiest money I've ever made at the at job
Easy money for you. For me that work would have been torture.
Oh it sucked for sure, I kept getting interrupted which meant whatever crate I was counting at the time had to be started over.
But the biggest perk was not having to deal with the other idiots on our loading dock for the entire time I was counting.
Though I've joked about it in the past I really should get a shirt that says "I'm trying to focus on my job, please don't distract me" or something like that.

I just got into a little spat with my friends fiance because she intellectually offloads with AI.
I stand by it.
The number of people I know who now ask AI instead of web searching is... very upsetting.
Doesn't help that web search is shit nowadays
That might be intentional and also coz of the shitty ai blog/info sites
In the case of Google it is very much intentional, and documented. Good search means fewer search attempts and that means fewer displayed ads.

If you search Google just serves you their AI shit. The other day their AI told me the word "rainy" has 4 letters.
It's does have 4 letters. It has 5 letters too.

Poop at work, get paid while pooping and use free tp.
Their tp is all scratchy and thin though...
This actually isn't too hard to solve. Double the value of each option by removing the folding requirement from the 2-ply and halving the price of the 3-ply to get an even comparison of 2-ply (330 sheets for $0.70) and 3-ply (300 sheets for $0.60), then recognize that it's not worth adding 1/6 the price for 1/10th the sheets, to see that the 3-ply option is better.
By the first sentence, you’ve already done more problem solving than an LLM-brained person.

You guys don't have unit pricing? In Australia it's required by law that supermarkets show price per standard unit of measurement so you can easily compare
We do! What's really helpful is many products of the same category are in different units. One will be per sheet, one per roll, one per 100 sheets, one per 500 sheets... and then the true thickness is completely different, so 1 ply for one brand will hold up ok while another will start disintegrating the moment you pull it off the roll. Do you feel free yet?

Two ply 70¢ / (330/2) = 0.42 ¢
Three ply 120¢ / 300 = 0.4 ¢
Basically the same.

That comes out to 0.004242 per doubled-up 2-ply sheet vs 0.004 per 3-ply sheet
Its extra fucked because the sheer amount of money ppl at the top have now, like the gap is getting bigger and bigger, why is everyone still broke, how do they benefit from ppl not buying things, like my walmart is full of expired sht all the time now, way less traffix
I shit and shower at work, not simultaneously though
Tap for spoiler
most of the time
