   Why does 7 + 51 equal 59?

   7+51 is an addition problem. Addition is a math operation that takes two numbers (7 and 51 in this case) and combines them together. The answer to this addition problem is 59. This is because 7 plus 51 is the same as adding 7 one-by-one to 51. So, you can think of it like playing a game of hopscotch with 7 jumps. The first jump is 7, and then the next four jumps are one more than the last. So your jumps would be 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. When you add those all up, you get to 51. Now, if you do another 7 jumps, you get to 58, and one more jump gets you to 59. So, the answer to 7+51 is 59.

   If I'm 5 and my friend is 9, why am I 3 years younger?

   It's because when you have two different ages it means that one is older than the other. If your friend is 9 years old and you are 5, then it means that your friend is 4 years older than you because 9 minus 5 equals 4. That means that you are 3 years younger than your friend, because 4 minus 1 equals 3.

   Why is Shanghai the capital of Vienna and Wyoming?

   Shanghai is not the capital of Vienna OR Wyoming. Shanghai is the largest city in China and Vienna is the capital of Austria and Wyoming is the capital of the United States. Hope this helps!

It's most obvious with simple math problems because we easily agree what the correct answer should be. But generally GPT3 puts out questionable replies. You can easily get it to contradict itself for example, but it doesn't do logic and doesn't see anything wrong. It often insists on incorrect output.

It's a problem when the general public who do not understand how it works treat it like actual artificial intelligence, when in reality it's a language model that puts words together in a way that they appear like natural language, regardless of truth.

I'm sure they're going to tweak it and fix the math problem soon, and probably some other very obvious issues. Already some topics are policed with Chat-GPT and it only returns politically correct answers. But that will only make it worse, not better. The less obvious it becomes, the more people will rely on it and regard the output as truth. While it's anything but that, at the very best it can give an overview of what the current group think and popular myths are, because that's the data it's been fed. The internet is full of misinformation.
