They produce garbage answers, then argue they're correct when you point out the exact error
"if i were talking to a person who argued like that, i'd stop talking to them" https://blossom.primal.net/ec4a04ddf228cd3c39317308a66e553ba1d052e56ec831ae47c0105d4ccf53d5.mp4

I've argued with them, got them to concede the error, but then they made more errors.
Yeah. This the author of that book, thought was funny to see clip here
Have had bad experience with math beyond "solve this equation" type stuff, at some really basic levels, and no longer use LLMs to explore any math stuff as result. Great for coding and surfacing quick info on new topics, just not there for any sort of math
