The short answer is no.
AI is becoming part of our lives these days, so when your middle school student solves math problems on their own you always wonder if they used AI help, and you also want to use AI yourself to try to solve problems that they failed to.
My experience is that AI can be used for neither of those tasks as it fails on 90% of problems.
The simplest 3 pointer Math Kangaroo problem is:The Mathematical Kangaroo takes place each year on the third Thursday of March. What is the latest possible date on which the competition could take place?
Let’s try feeding it to ChatGPT first and to Bard then.
ChatGPT takes the right path but fails in the end by making a stupid mistake thinking March 22 is a Thursday. I guess it’s programmed to be too human. Now let’s see if Bard is any better / less humane.
And Bard doesn’t disappoint, as I don’t think any human would be able to fail in such an epic way. April 1st is Bard’s answer – what a joke!
