Haha, this is hilarious. Its interesting to see how even with "Phd level skills" LLMs often fail to answer such basic questions

    Basically, LLMs are like "Rain Man".

    A fundamental lack of logic, reasoning, creativity and understanding of reality still remains --- even after all the data available on the internet has been statistically consumed and cataloged

    Conclusion: Statistics can be used to answer a lot of questions but it is a poor substitute for logic regardless of the size of the database being applied.

    Try as you might but some problems simply can't be adequately solved with a simple statistical approach.

    answering questions by guessing next tokens in a sentence is different from running .contains on a list of strings. if you formulate your question more specifically it will do the duty..

    i am not familiar with american states, but it produced me a list of state names with checkmarks nexto each with an r or R in it (one or more) and a total count. both seem correct. I just dont know if the list itself is correct :p

    this guy is asking it by having it draw a map thats not a very logical way to answer a question. it skips over logical steps, so it has a bad answer

      If you don't know, you say "I don't know". It didn't.

      It offered to draw the map which it couldn't do.

      If you are willing to accept any fault, maybe it's its inability to understand its own shortcomings.
