LLMs are very sensitive to the prompt. <br>

If you ask a nonsense question, you get a nonsense answer.<br>
<br>
I give several examples of this in my recent paper on<br>
"Large Language Models and the Reverse Turing Test"<br>

<span style="font-family:monospace">Prompt: Prove that the cube
root of eight is irrational.<br>
<br>
ChatGPT: We can prove that the cube root of eight is
irrational by<br>
contradiction.<br>
<br>
Assume that the cube root of eight is a rational
number,<br>
meaning it can be expressed as the ratio of two
integers, p<br>
and q, where q is not equal to zero and p and q have
no<br>
common factors other than 1.<br>
<br>
Then we have:<br>
<br>
∛8 = p/q<br>
<br>
Cubing both sides, we get:<br>
<br>
8 = p^3 / q^3<br>
<br>
Multiplying both sides by q^3, we get:<br>
<br>
8q^3 = p^3<br>
<br>
This means that p^3 is even, which implies that p is
even,<br>
because the cube of an odd number is odd, and the
cube of an<br>
even number is even.<br>
<br>
Let p = 2k, where k is an integer. Then we have:<br>
<br>
8q^3 = (2k)^3<br>
<br>
Simplifying, we get:<br>
<br>
8q^3 = 8k^3<br>
<br>
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:<br>
<br>
q^3 = k^3<br>
<br>
This means that q^3 is also even, which implies that
q is even.<br>
<br>
However, we assumed that p and q have no common
factors other<br>
than 1, which contradicts the fact that both p and q
are<br>
even. Therefore, our assumption that the cube root of
eight<br>
is rational is false, and the cube root of eight must
be<br>
irrational.</span></div>
