Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Not sure about this upcoming development, but they had the math part solved already via a Wolfram Alpha plugin which integrated into ChatGPT. As you may already know, Wolfram can already solve complex math problems with just a natural language input, so this isn’t anything revolutionary.
What would be revolutionary though is if it applied that same sort of logic beyond math, like towards language (and visual) outputs and be able to fact check, or at the very least, not contradict itself or hallucinate like it does sometimes.
It’s not a terribly complicated idea, really. You can train it to output formatted calculations when presented with a problem, then something in the middle watches for those and inserts the solution for it behind the scenes. You might even trigger another generation to let it appear more smooth when presented to the user.
