I love to show that kind of shit to AI boosters. (In case you're wondering, the numbers were chosen randomly and the answer is incorrect).

They go waaa waaa its not a calculator, and then I can point out that it got the leading 6 digits and the last digit correct, which is a lot better than it did on the "softer" parts of the test.

Still seems terminally AI pilled to me, an iteration or two later. "5 digit multiplication is borderline", how is that useful?

I think there's a combination of it being a pinnacle of billions and billions of dollars, and probably theirs firing people for slightest signs of AI skepticism. There's another data point, "reasoning math & code" is released as stable by Google without anyone checking if it can do any kind of math.

edit: imagine that a calculator manufacturer in 1970s is so excited about microprocessors they release an advanced scientific calculator that can't multiply two 6 digit numbers (while their earlier discrete component model could). Outside the crypto sphere, that sort of insanity is new.
