Ok, you have a moderately complex math problem you needed to solve. You gave the problem to 6 LLMS all paid versions. All 6 get the same numbers. Would you trust the answer?

this is a really weird premise. doing the same thing on 6 models is just not worth it especially when wolfram alpha exists and is far more trustable and speedy

    If the LLMs are part of a modern framework I would expect that they should be calling out to Wolfram Alpha (or a similar specialized math-solver) via an API to get the answer for you, for that matter.

    Finally an intelligent comment. So many comments in here that don't realize most LLM's are bundled with calculators that just do the math.

    Anti-AI sentiment is extremely strong in every part of the Fediverse I've seen so far, usually my comments get downvoted heavily even when I'm just describing factual details of how it works. I expect a lot of people simply don't bother after a while.
