  • Well, I wanted to know the answer and formula for future value of a present amount. The AI answer that came up was clear, concise, and thorough. I was impressed and put the formula into my spreadsheet. My answer did not match the AI answer. So I kept looking for what I did wrong. Finally I just put the value into a regular online calculator and it matched the answer my spreadsheet was returning.

    So AI gave me the right equation and the wrong answer. But it did it in a very impressive way. This is why I think it’s important for AI to only be used as a tool and not a replacement for knowledge. You have to be able to understand how to check the results.







  • Ummm, I really don’t like the way you said that. I would like to point out that I was 14 years old at the time and there’s quite a difference between seeing something like that and becoming some kind of sexual predator. The human body doesn’t seem to be quite the shameful thing in Europe as it is in the US. If we (assuming you are from the US) weren’t so perfectly comfortable with violence and gore while simultaneously so puritanical about sexuality, you probably wouldn’t feel that way. And finally I do believe it’s a bit unreasonable for ANYONE male, female or otherwise to remove one’s shirt in public and expect literally no one to look at you. The point should be that it doesn’t MATTER if someone looks. Until this is the case, maybe shirts should just stay on.
