LOL, I give up, I can't even figure out how it got 15.
Almost works in JS.
+("1" + 2) + 3is 15, and"1" + 2 - -3is 15, but"1" + 2 + 3is "123". 🙄️I'm still not convinced Javascript is a serious language rather than a prank.
At a guess, when people ask it to "sum the numbers above", they usually test it on the sequence 1,2,3,4,5. It's an LLM, it's doesn't process its input, it returns one of the most probable tokens based on what it's seen before. If it actually becomes a "thing", crashing the global economy is the least of our worries.
It is actually already a thing: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/copilot-function-5849821b-755d-4030-a38b-9e20be0cbf62

Hmm... -.-
There's a "it's in the product" thing, and a "people actually, seriously, use it fir actual work" thing. We've got the first, I'm hoping that enough people get burnt by it being wrong, in non-serious ways, that noone tries to use it seriously. Hope and expectation are different things though. sigh
Its added 4 and 5 also. I think its solving a trianguar number pattern: n(n+1)/2. These things are in maths tests all the time where you need to find the next two in the sequence
