The Curious Case of AI Not Being Able to Think Or (Count)
AI is a lot like that overconfident guy at trivia night. You know the one — throws out answers with conviction, even when they’re wildly wrong. Ask it about Renaissance painters? Sure, it’s got you. But ask it to count some taps, and suddenly, it’s having an existential crisis. Okay, maybe that's too specific! But that’s exactly what happened when I tried a little experiment with an AI model. I tapped out prime numbers, and instead of recognizing the pattern, the AI confidently declared that I was tapping out the Fibonacci sequence. Why? Because AI doesn’t actually think. It just confidently vibes with probabilities. And to be fair, the question I asked was strategically designed to mess with the AI’s probability model and the relationships between concepts. So let’s get into it!
