@Saint68 and Numbers.
Thank you for your informative posts the other day.
With the benefit of hindsight, it is obvious that I mixed apples and pears. (Dilution and Consolidation)
I am surprised Ai, did not call me out on that one.
Then again, maybe I shouldn't.
The post I posted was the result of a longer interaction with Ai
When I gave Ai its orginal task, I got a COMPLETELY made up answer.
When I called it out on this, it blatantly admitted it was made up and for illustrative purpose.
And gave me direction how to do the task myself, which defeated the purpose of asking Ai to do it for me in the first place.
Long story short, I forgot to apply common sense.
Interestingly, when I went back to Ai with Saint68s explanation to find out where we had gotten it wrong, it claimed both were correct, but dealing with different issues.
Trying to figure out, how I should have phrased it to avoid a similar mistake in the future, Ai came up with a good wording.
And now it gets interesting.
As I asked Ai to implement the new wording and recalculate, expecting to reach the same result as Saint68, it came up with 10 pound breakeven result once again.
I have not yet had time to address how that could happen, interesting to find out in the future when I get some time.
Lesson learnt from this interaction with Ai:
Ai, can make up s story on the spot to fulfill the brief, but it is willing to admit so if called out.
Ai, does not automatically inform you that you are mixing apples and pears. It seems more interested in fulfilling the brief.
Even when Ai have solved the misunderstanding then it can continue to reach the same wrong result as in the beginning of the thread.
Anyway, today is Wednesday the 17th of December, it is now 3 months gone.
We wouldn't it be nice if that sparks some additional interest, maybe already today, maybe first in the coming weeks ad things take time, as due diligence must take place.
If it hasn't already.
