This program was designed to emulate the biological neural net of your brain. Oftentimes we're nowhere near that good at math just off the top of our heads (we need tools like paper and simplifying formulas). Don't judge it too harshly for being bad at math, that wasn't it's purpose.

This lil robot was trained to know facts and communicate via natural language. As far as I've interacted with it, it has excelled at this intended task. I think it's a good bot

Bro I wasn't looking for a technical explanation. I know how they work. We made computers worse. The thing isn't even smart enough to say "I wasn't designed to do math problems, perhaps we should focus on something where I can make up a bunch of research papers out of thin air?"
