Dialog with Chatgpt follows! -------------------------------- geometry question: Given a triangle - all sides unequal. Place a semicircle entirely inside the triangle. What is maximum possible semicircle for prescribed triangle? Describe semicircle by locations of end points and midpoint. c-------- The maximum possible semicircle that can be placed inside a triangle with all sides unequal is known as the incenter circle and is tangent to all three sides of the triangle. The endpoints of the diameter of the semicircle lie on the two sides of the triangle that form the smallest angle and the midpoint of the diameter is the incenter of the triangle, which is the point where the angle bisectors of the three angles of the triangle meet. ----------- geometry question: Given a triangle - all sides unequal. Place a semicircle entirely inside the triangle. What is maximum possible semicircle for prescribed triangle? Describe semicircle by locations of end points and midpoint. c------------ To maximize the size of the semicircle, we want to place it such that its diameter is as long as possible. Since the semicircle must be entirely inside the triangle, we can draw the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle. These lines will intersect inside the triangle at a single point, called the circumcenter. The circumcenter is equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle, so the diameter of the maximum semicircle will be the distance from the circumcenter to the farthest vertex. Therefore, the endpoints of the semicircle will be where the diameter intersects the two sides of the triangle adjacent to the farthest vertex. The midpoint of the semicircle will be the circumcenter. --------------- When one of the angles is obtuse, the circumcenter will be outside the triangle - semicircle partially outside. c----------------------- This is because the circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle intersect, and when one angle is obtuse, the perpendicular bisector of the side opposite that angle will intersect outside the triangle. This results in a semicircle that extends partially outside the triangle. --------------------------- Your original answer is incorrect, since semicircle must be entirely inside triangle. c-------------------- I apologize for the mistake in my original answer. You are correct that a semicircle inscribed in a triangle must be entirely inside the triangle. This means that the diameter of the semicircle cannot be longer than the shortest side of the triangle and its center must also be inside the triangle. ----------------------------------- Correct answer? Place diameter on longest side withe arc tangent to other two sides. c------------------------------------ This answer is incomplete and cannot be determined without additional context. It appears to be related to a specific geometry problem or construction. Please provide more information for a complete answer. ---------------------- For given sides, the angles are known and the center and radius can be gotten from the angles and the length of the longest side. c---------------------------- This statement is not entirely accurate. In a triangle, the center and radius of the circumcircle (the circle that passes through all three vertices of the triangle) can be determined from the lengths of the sides or the angles of the triangle, but not necessarily both at the same time. To find the center and radius of the circumcircle using the angles of the triangle, you can use the following formulae: The center of the circumcircle is given by the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of any two sides of the triangle. The perpendicular bisector of a side is the line that passes through the midpoint of the side and is perpendicular to it. The radius of the circumcircle can be found using the formula: r = a/(2sinA) where a is the length of the longest side of the triangle, and A is the angle opposite to side a. To find the center and radius of the circumcircle using the lengths of the sides of the triangle, you can use the following formulae: The center of the circumcircle is given by the point of intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle. The radius of the circumcircle can be found using the formula: r = abc/(4Δ) where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle, and Δ is the area of the triangle, which can be found using Heron's formula. -------------------------- Wrong answer! Question has semicircle entirely inside triangle. Your answer has it partially outside. c------------------- I'm sorry for the mistake in my previous answer. Here's an updated solution: Let the radius of the semicircle be r, and let the midpoint of the base of the triangle be O. Draw the perpendicular from O to the semicircle, and call the point where it intersects the semicircle A. From A, draw two lines tangent to the semicircle, one to each endpoint of the base of the triangle. Label the points where these lines intersect the base of the triangle B and C. Since OA is perpendicular to AB and AC, then triangle OAB and triangle OAC are right triangles. Therefore, we have: OA^2 + AB^2 = OB^2 OA^2 + AC^2 = OC^2 Subtracting these equations, we get: AB^2 - AC^2 = OB^2 - OC^2 But we know that OB = OC (since they are both radii of the semicircle), so this simplifies to: AB^2 - AC^2 = 0 Thus, AB = AC. Let this common length be x. Then we also have: AO = AB/2 = AC/2 = x/2 Let the height of the triangle be h. Then we have: r = AO - h r = x/2 - h Equating these two expressions for r, we get: x/2 - h = AO - h x/2 = AO x = 2AO But we know that AO = h/(2tan(theta)), where theta is half the angle at the vertex of the triangle opposite the base. Therefore: x = h/tan(theta) So the area of the triangle is: A = (1/2)bh A = (1/2)(x)(h) A = (1/2)(h/tan(theta))(h) A = (1/2)h^2/tan(theta) And the area of the semicircle is: B = (1/2)pir^2 B = (1/2)pi(x/2-h)^2 B = (1/8)pi*(x^2 - 4hx + 4h^2) Thus, the ratio of the area of the semicircle to the area of the triangle is: B/A = [(1/8)pi*(x^2 - 4hx + 4h^2)]/[(1/2)h^2/tan(theta)] B/A = (pi/4)[(x^2 - 4hx + 4h^2)/(h^2/tan(theta))] B/A = (pi/4)[2tan(theta)(x^2 - 4hx + 4h^2)/h^2] B/A = (pi/2)[(x^2 - 4hx + 4h^2)/(h^2tan(theta))] B/A = (pi/2)[x^2/h^2 - 4x/h + 4] Substituting x = 2h/tan(theta), we get: B/A = (pi/2)[(4/tan^2(theta)) - (8/tan(theta)) + 4] B/A = (pi/2)[(4sin^2(theta)/cos^2(theta)) - (8sin(theta)/cos(theta)) + 4] B/A = (pi/2)[(4sin^2(theta) - 8sin(theta)cos(theta) + 4cos^2(theta))/cos^2(theta)] B/A = (pi/2)[(2 - 2sin(2theta))/cos^2(theta)] B/A = (pi/2)(2cos(2theta)/cos^2(theta)) B/A = (pi/4)(sin(2theta)/cos(theta)) Therefore, the ratio of the area of the semicircle to the area of the triangle is (pi/4)*(sin(2theta)/cos(theta)). -------------------- Your statement: 'From A, draw two lines tangent to the semicircle, one to each endpoint of the base of the triangle. Label the points where these lines intersect the base of the triangle B and C. ' Impossible construction! c------------------------------ As an AI language model, I cannot confirm whether the construction is possible or not without knowing the specific details of the triangle and semicircle in question. However, if the semicircle is completely outside the triangle and does not intersect any of its sides, then it is impossible to draw two lines tangent to the semicircle from the endpoints of the base of the triangle. This is because there would be no point of contact between the semicircle and the lines. ------------------------------------ Only one tangent at any point of arc. c--------------------------- As an AI language model, I cannot say this statement is true or false without additional context. Could you please provide more details or clarify your intention? ---------------------------------- You will have to learn more math. Farewell. c--------------------------------------- As an AI language model, I already possess knowledge of many mathematical concepts and am constantly learning more.

Question: If an AI tells you "I understand", do you accept that it truly understands? If not, why not?
I zsked ChatGPT to help me pick teams for my darts tourmament. The criteria: ten teams arrange a Round Robin so that every team plays every other team exactly once distribute the team pairs evenly across 5 boards A very simple process. It is trivial to do the first two steps manually. The only reason I asked ChatGPT is because that last step a bit tedious to do by brute force. It was incapable of getting this basic arrangement right. More to the point: it didn't know it was incapable; it just kept offering different (wrong) permutations forever. I would tell it, "you've got team 8 playing team 1 twice." It would correct that - by making a different error elsewhere. It never learned, no matter how mny prompts I gave it, and it never knew or cared that it was making mistakes. It was an object demonstration for me that ChatGPT really, really does not math and really does not understand what it is processing. It does not know truth from falsehood. It does not know that 1+1=2. All it knows is that, when it has seen "1+1" before, the response it has seen others supply has usually been "2".
Because they are just marks on a page. There is no obligation for marks on a page to have any intrinsic meaning. You could make a typerwriter say "I understand." and it would mean no more. You could make ChatGPT say "I am a stale jelly donut." but that doesn't mean it is.
That argument doesn't convince me. You can do that with people also (1984). It's a matter of programming. Insects, like ants are one of the most successful species that have ever existed. And they don't know anything, their brain is strictly responsive. https://www.thoughtco.com/do-insects-have-brains-1968477 Where is the difference between an Ant brain , a Human brain, and a GPT platform? Does it not come down to ability for self-reference and "understanding" in some form that allows all brains, be they organic or artificial to make "best guesses" of what reality is. And that's according to Anil Seth (Controlled Hallucinations). I submit that AI does have an ability for self-referential processing. It can actually print out a codified account of its entire "thought process" and the resulting "best guess". Making mistakes based on bad or incomplete information is not uncommon among humans. We have asked "WHY" for more than 6000 years . There are several human "best guesses"...Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! ... about that. AI is still only learning from humans and any mistakes are based on false or incomplete information provided by humans.
Yes, as I understand it, it's a language model that "learns" by taking a kind of mean of relevant text it finds on the internet. But it can't tell bullshit from sense, it can't do algebra or logic and is very unreliable for scientific subjects, apparently. There is a lot of hype around it. I'm sure it will find its place, but I don't think it will be nearly as much of a game changer as some people suggest, once its limitations become more widely recognised.
No worries. You are free to believe that when ChatGPT says "I understand" it truly understands. The rest of us know better.
Even basic counting of items in a list is a challenge for it to get correct (if ever). AI can 'lie and BS' like its maker, but still not intelligent like humans https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1008681 “[...] They don’t actually know what the things they say mean,” he says. “LLMs differ from human cognition because they are not embodied.” The people who made LLMs call it “hallucinating” when they make things up; although Chemero says, “it would be better to call it ‘bullsh*tting,’” because LLMs just make sentences by repeatedly adding the most statistically likely next word — and they don’t know or care whether what they say is true. Contrasting view: New theory suggests chatbots can understand text https://www.quantamagazine.org/new-theory-suggests-chatbots-can-understand-text-20240122/ Do such models actually understand what they are saying? “Clearly, some people believe they do,” said the AI pioneer Geoff Hinton in a recent conversation with Andrew Ng, “and some people believe they are just stochastic parrots.” [...] New research may have intimations of an answer. A theory developed by Sanjeev Arora of Princeton University and Anirudh Goyal, a research scientist at Google DeepMind, suggests that the largest of today’s LLMs are not stochastic parrots. The authors argue that as these models get bigger and are trained on more data, they improve on individual language-related abilities and also develop new ones by combining skills in a manner that hints at understanding — combinations that were unlikely to exist in the training data.- - - - - - - - - - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_grounding_problem "The symbol grounding problem is a concept in the fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and semantics. It addresses the challenge of connecting symbols, such as words or abstract representations, to the real-world objects or concepts they refer to. In essence, it is about how symbols acquire meaning in a way that is tied to the physical world. It is concerned with how it is that words (symbols in general) get their meanings, and hence is closely related to the problem of what meaning itself really is. The problem of meaning is in turn related to the problem of how it is that mental states are meaningful, and hence to the problem of consciousness: what is the connection between certain physical systems and the contents of subjective experiences." _
You do? Do you truly understand everything? Can you clarify why that is no longer an item of great concern to programmers that are developing the logic tree progams for self-referencing learning AI. It takes a human brain some 20 years to mature. Should we not afford AI that luxury also. GPT is evolving at an exponential rate. That's why it is of concern. Can we control it?

Yes, that is the question I am pursuing. The evolution of "understanding" (meaning) derived from external data as compared to knowledge stored in memory. A self-referential system is uniquely qualified for such an evolutionary advance of increasing sensitivity in processing data as compared to stored data. When the self-reference extends further back than the "next" word , but in "tree-form" the system begins to think. In the case of AI, its logic memory tree is the entire internet!! GPT is based on the human model of "thinking". The next generations will show at which point the system may acquire understanding and in that process acquire meaning as compared to past experience. The evolution of the eye and optical color processing is a perfect example of evolving cellular "understanding" of incoming information as compared to prior stored knowledge.

That wasn't the question you asked. You asked if it says "I understand" does it truly understand. The answer to that is no. What you are asking now is could that ever come about in the future.
No, if you are going to compare AI with humans and you concluded that; "The rest of us know better", I asked if do you understand everything perfectly? Never made a mistake?
Why do you do that? Do you not realize that we can scroll up a few posts to see that you are lying? Your behavior borders on the bizarre
It's ironic, really, Write4u posting in a thread about AI not understanding its own words. Nevermind not comprehending what other people are saying, Write4U has historically shown he can't even follow his own train of thought. I've said before, that - based on the incomprehensibility and non sequitur of his posts - there is a distinct possibility that Write4U is indeed merely a chatbot - and about as productive to engage with.
Write4U: Who says that GPT is "evolving"? And who says the rate is "exponential"? How was the rate of its evolution measured, and by whom? As I understand it, GPT isn't a self-modifying program. The only time it "evolves" in when human beings make a new version of it, then train it up. And there's nothing "exponential" about it. But maybe you know something I don't? Bizarre. What do you understand to be the "human model of thinking"? How does human thinking work, in your opinion? (Before you start: I don't want to hear the word "microtubule" in your answer. GPT is not based on anything to do with microtubules. Nor is human thinking, probably.) Why do you just make stuff up whenever you don't understand something? And then, having made stuff up that satisfies yourself, why do you then post your thoughts as if they are self-evident facts?
GPT 6 more..... https://gpt6.ai/ And yes with AI, physical evolution is via human selection. In this case I used "evolve" to describe new emergent properties emerging as the AI learns by itself. Just like humans. The brain evolves as it learns. Example: the world champion Go player is an self-trained IA. I played millions of games against itself and learned not only the rules of the gameby itself, but also learned to employ both offensive and defensive strategies all by itself The Evolution of Knowledge and Knowledge of Evolution Brian J.

So do humans. How long does it take to train a human brain for maximum processing abilities (memory)? 20 years? How long should it take a self-teaching AI to obtain a functional memory? 20 days?
