Not really understanding the distinction in the beginning, I asked chatgpt a lot about math and gave it formulas to solve, asked it questions about very large numbers and things like this. I then did the DD on its answers, which overwhelmingly turned out to be spot on.

Then, like is being reported elsewhere, the thing got progressively worse at math and its results seemed to get randomized. I could ask it the very same math questions as I did in the beginning, but now the answers were garbage. It has 100% been ‘smoothed’ out in the thinking department, likely because people were finding ways to monetize it that its creators hadn’t even thought of, so they backpedaled.
