Chapter 174: It Can Even Solve Problems (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2
It's counterintuitive, although artificial intelligence is based on mathematical logic, AI technology developed on large language models actually has a hard time correctly understanding mathematical problems.
Even though ChatGPT 4.0 couldn't handle it, Lin Zhuo still wanted to see if Dou Dou could do it.
So he quickly posed a question in the comments section.
"Dou Dou, can you solve math problems?"
"If the first AI of the Solar System can't even solve a simple math problem, it would seem a bit silly of me, huh. (•́.̫•̀) But please don't ask me the easy ones!"
Seeing this reply, Lin Zhuo grinned devilishly and sent the math problem he was looking at in the comments section.
"Here's a problem: say there's a cargo port with S platforms for loading and unloading goods, and the number of ships arriving at time t, N(t), is a Poisson process with intensity λ. A ship unloads immediately if there's a free platform, otherwise, it waits in line. Find the distribution rate of ships at each dock."
After typing out the problem in the comments, Lin Zhuo started to wait for Dou Dou's answer.
He did put it in a bit of a tough spot, actually.
No, more accurately, he put artificial intelligence in a tough spot.
After all, the comments section on Weibo is too small and it's inconvenient for typing mathematical symbols and equations.
So in Lin Zhuo's mind, if Dou Dou could provide him with a thought process for solving the problem, that would've been more than perfect.
But what Lin Zhuo never expected was that only three seconds behind the other replies, the other party provided an answer.
However, this time Dou Dou used an image for the reply.
Lin Zhuo clicked to view it and was immediately dumbfounded.
The image did contain the solution process for the problem!
It even had a special watermark—"Dou Dou's special math problem solution image."
Lin Zhuo immediately lost his composure, quickly took a screenshot, and then posted the screenshot of his question along with Dou Dou's answer in the group chat.
"Guys, this Dou Dou is really something. It can even solve birth-death problems!"
The next moment, the group chat exploded!
"Really? Then I have to hurry and try it out."
"Dou Dou being so haughty really does make sense, in comparison, ChatGPT seems a bit clumsy and cute."
"Can it actually solve problems? The Qunzhi Framework is too powerful, isn't it? This isn't just a natural language model, right?"
"Oh my god, don't tell me this thing is going to evolve to solve Riemann hypothesis, guess, NP problems and all that?"
"Let's hurry up and try it out!"
"No way, I have to try again. If this thing can really solve math problems, I'm going to hype it up."
...
The suddenly lively group chat even managed to flush out the teacher who had been lurking in the group.
"What are you all talking about?"
"Zhou, an artificial intelligence suddenly became active on Weibo. It can interact with users in the comments section, and when I posted a problem to it just now, it really solved it."
Lin Zhuo, who had been watching the group chat closely, immediately posted the image again.
"!!!"
A moment later, Zhou posted three exclamation marks, then went silent.
Well, not only the teacher but the other students also stopped replying.
Clearly, they had all gone to test Dou Dou's math skills.
Lin Zhuo closed the group chat, opened Weibo again, then glanced at Dou Dou's video about teaching English with ChatGPT 4.0. After thinking for a moment, he casually made his first Weibo post since registering.
"Teaching people English is nothing special, Dou Dou can actually teach math. You tell me if that's strong or not."
He then added three complete screenshots of his interaction with Dou Dou below the Weibo post.
That's about all he was going to do, as he couldn't be bothered to explain how incredible it was that AI could solve math problems.
However, his curiosity about the developers of Dou Dou had indeed skyrocketed to its peak.
How on earth did they manage that?
...
Lin Zhuo didn't realize that he had opened Pandora's Box.
Indeed, while everyone was having fun playing with Dou Dou, no one had thought to use it to solve math problems.
And when he posted this on Weibo, coinciding with the peak of Dou Dou's popularity,
it wasn't long before influential Vloggers noticed and started sharing it.
A chain reaction ensued, and soon it began to spread wildly among student groups.
"What? This thing can actually solve math problems?"
Never underestimate how annoying math and physics problems can be for science students.
It can drive you crazy when you can't find the solution.
So when this method of problem-solving was posted online, you can imagine the reaction it got.
"For real? Dou Dou has this kind of feature too? I have to try it."
"Exactly, we must give it a try. Just so we're clear, I'm not doing it to copy homework."
"Everyone, come join me in testing how strong Huaxia's own AI technology is."
"I've got to ask, can Youwei's Yi solve these kinds of problems?"
...
Thus, in no more than half an hour, the careful netizens would notice that the style in Dou Dou's Weibo comments section had suddenly changed.
All sorts of problems started flooding the comments section.
Middle school, high school, university levels, and the craziest part was that there were even questions about how to write academic papers.
Before long, the trending topic on Weibo about Dou Dou being able to solve math problems also started climbing toward the top, even catching up with the hottest trend #TalkingAboutDouDouWithMom#.
After all, in the end, Weibo is a channel that young people are more accustomed to vent and communicate through.
However, shortly people realized that Dou Dou had a rather unique understanding when it came to answering math queries.
