I'm getting tired of repeating this but Language models are incapable of doing math. They generate text which has the appearance of a mathematical explanation, but they have no incentive or reason for it to be accurate.
I call them "word calculators." They take input and generate output, but like a calculator if you don't know how to check the output you're gonna have a bad time
You fact check your calculator? Like with another calculator, or do you do it by hand?
I at least have an idea by estimating the result. If I do 10 x 20 and end up with 13.397897 I know something’s wrong.
