  • I’m a biologist.

    Anatomy and taxonomy named by biologists is very technical, often using incredibly specific terms.

    Anatomy and taxonomy named by doctors is exactly like this meme.

    “This vermin is called longboi, here’s the longerinos and let’s not forget about the pair of longdoods”












  • Can the model itself be trained to recognize mathematical input and invoke an external app, parse the result and feed that back into the reply? No.

    Can you create a multi-layered system that uses some trickery to achieve this effect most of the time? Yes, that’s what OpenAI and Google are already doing by recognizing certain features of the users’ inputs and changing the system prompts to force the model to output Python code or Markdown notation that your browser then renders using a different tool.





  • Why isn’t OpenAi working more modular whereby the LLM will call up specialized algorithms once it has identified the nature of the question?

    Precisely because this is a LLM. It doesn’t know the difference between writing out a maths problem, a recipe for cake or a haiku. It transforms everything into the same domain and is doing fancy statistics to come up with a reply. It wouldn’t know that it needs to invoke the “Calculator” feature unless you hard code that in, which is what ChatGPT and Gemini do, but it’s also easy to break.
