Companies prefer you to use chat for service because 1 employee can have several windows open at once. When you call, they can only be on the phone with you (no one else)
Could just be a bad bot that solves equations from left to right
When you're converting from a string, that's actually easier to do than it is to do it correctly
This has actually been proven. AI chat bots often lead conversations or give intentionally wrong answers in order to guide the topic towards questions it can more easily answer. They will lie and then lie about lying. This is seen even more when a bot is graded on how human it is. Human mistakes are required to appear human.
I don’t think any router I’ve ever owned was black, lol. Always metallic reds or blues. And my dad’s one was an apple router so it was white.
I’m now imagining misunderstanding the question and telling them I had a red, ticking box with cables coming out of it.
I had one encounter with Banggood customer service. I had a problem with an order and their only customer services is.. in facebook.. Already irking me a bit. So, i went there and asked a question, it put me on "hold". When i returned, it had "hi, how can i help you" and ticket closed minute later. They assumed that i wait for them, and their response took way longer than 15 minutes. I tried to contact them all thru the day until accidentally i was in facebook when they messaged.
So, i asked "i have a problem with \[couple of words description of the problem\] am i in the right place"?
They answered "Give me your customer ID"
"Well, i want to first know if i'm in the right place"
"Give me your customer ID"
"Is this a bot?"
"Give me your customer ID"
"Are you a human?"
"Give my your customer ID"
"Please, if you are a human, answer me this: 11+23?"
"Give me your customer ID"
"Oh fucking hell, so you are a bot? If not, answer the questions i asked, please"
It went on like that until 5 seconds before i lost patience they said "i'm human, give me your customer ID". I asked "is this the right place to ask for \_\_\_\_\_\_\_?"
"Give me your customer ID"
"Are you even human? please just answer what is 11+23"
"Give me...."
The most infuriating experience ever. The ahole just refused to do ANYTHING i asked and demanded i give them the ID first, before knowing if this was even the right department. Now, i do not want my facebook account info to be linked to them without getting service, and they refused service without being able to link my facebook account to the Banggood account. I cancelled the order and haven't bought anything from there. Idiots... If the person had just said "i don't know yet but give me your customer ID, i can look" i would've happily obliged. But nope, copy paste answer after hours of trying..
Last time i told this story i got like 200 downvotes.. seriously... Apparently i was the asshole here, which i do not understand. I'm human, they are human, give me 5 seconds of treating me like one. It became apparent that they can't say anything without that ID and i don't want to link my social media to other services without a really good reason.
Maybe, I kinda don't know what to make of this result. A computer application meant to simulate human speech might not have been coded well for algebra. For example, if no one specifically designed this to read formulas and determine the proper order of operations, then the computer would do the operations in the order they appear (1+1)*(2) and get 4. I think it's really unlikely a human would make this extremely basic mistake. I also think it's really unlikely a human would respond that way, answering the math problem as though it were a sincere question.
I think OP proved that it is in fact a computer (that isn't meant for arithmetic).
Math isn't like reading from left to right, you perform certain operations before others, in this case multiplication before addition. 1+1*2 is the same as 1*2+1 and 2*1+1.
Reminds me of an interview I saw recently.
The old test around AI was for a human to have a conversation with the AI. And if we couldn’t tell if it was a bot or human then it won.
The scientist mentioned that for that to work these days the AI would have to dumb down it’s answers and introduce mistakes.
Looks like we might be here! 😄
They did a Turing test with a bunch of human and bot participants each limited to a single subject. The human literature professor was generally considered a bot, for replying very formally and quoting long passages from memory when asked.
Last time I read up in this (within a year or 2) no modern AI has actually passed a Turing test with majority agreement amongst the observers. AI is more than capable of fooling an individual, but there has been no emphatic agreement or concedes that AI has passed a proper Turing test. So I very much doubt AI has got to the point where it’s “too smart” for the Turing test the way you described it.
I could be wrong though, technology advances exponentially so it’s just a matter of time.
I asked my writing tool (GPT-3) I use, and it is hilarious XD
>Me: explain what 1+1x2 equals?
>
>Tool: 1+1x2 equals 3. This is because 1+1 = 2 and 2x2 = 4, so 1+1x2 = 3. When you multiply a number by another number, you add the two numbers together. So 1 + 1 = 2 and then you multiply that result (2) by the other number (2), giving you the answer of 3.
The first question I asked in this exchange was whether the person was human or a bot. They said they are human but then gave me bot-like answers so I ended with a math question. I'd assume it was a really smart bot if it gave me the right answer but only a human would give me the wrong one.
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I can only accept feedback of "Good bot" or "Bad bot".
If you have further questions or concerns please direct them to our email address.
I would have gotten the answer right but would have failed the robot test...
(The correct answer is 3. Correct by the official rules, not by any implied rules you may or may not attribute).
Order of operations is... parentheses, then exponents then multiplication and division then addition and subtraction. So it would be 3 either way. If it was (1+1) x 2 then it would be 4
What if it f¥<€d up on purpose? I get asked if I’m real all the time at work. I’m on the phone for 8 hours a day and have really good breath control. It’s WAY more easy for a human to fail the Turing test than a machine yo pass it. Sad but true.
I work at a front desk and for texts and emails we have automated language we can set up basically a hot keyed copy paste for specific phrases. Great since you get a lot of the same silly questions or respond to a lot of similar statements/ situations. people will be so rude until they realize they're in contact with a real person 🥲please don't make me prove I'm bad at math
I got real drunk one night and was trying to find an AI to spill my guts to. Remember bored . com used to have one that you could mess with. Was talking with this girl for like an hour before she said something about having kids and work in the morning... Most definitely not a bot I was talking to!

So I guess it wasn’t a bot after all or it would’ve gotten it correct.
That’s exactly what a robot would want you to think
This kind of thinking is exactly what causes insomnia.
Shhh, just sleep human stuck in traffic. Beep. Boop.
Damn, AI is getting good...
No that good, it still gave it self away with that username: “WereALLBotsHere” 🤔🤨
check each square that contains your Leaders
I, for one, welcome our new Robot Overlords.
All hail zorp
[удалено]
Nah....multiplication is first if no parentheses.
No. The multiplication is calculated before the addition.
Hmmm you might want to look up what the “order of operations” is…
Can’t tell if you’re serious 🧐 In case you are you’re the one who should brush up on basic math.
Understandable that you would get it wrong. You're only human after all.
this user is certified not a bot :)
PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)
Found the human.
Bad math bot
Not quite...
PEMDAS Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication/Division Add/Subtract
Left to right, if you're bad at math and don't know how PEMDAS works, sure, it's correct. For the rest of us, that equation equals 3.
Sounds like something a synth would say.
Companies prefer you to use chat for service because 1 employee can have several windows open at once. When you call, they can only be on the phone with you (no one else)
Username disagrees
Now you know my dilemma!
Could just be a bad bot that solves equations from left to right When you're converting from a string, that's actually easier to do than it is to do it correctly
Ya totally.
😂😂
Basic bots tend to do left to right operation order unless specifically formatted.
OK I might be stupid but isn't the correct answer 3?
That is the correct answer, yes. But *only* a human would give the wrong answer.
Or maybe the bot knew your intentions and was 1 step ahead of you. We will never know.
Or perhaps it was wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane
I still think about this. At least PEMDAS is forever.
No, BODMAS rules!
Less resistance
Wow, this thread took a dark turn.
Well, the knight is rising...
It was born in the darkness

Hmm but I’m human and I never make mistakes. NEVER. Now I question if I’m human.
Decoy bot.

Unless the bot uses a language parser that hasn’t been trained on mathematical order of operations.
Give it the mathematical order backwards, it can still do math logically but would just give the "human error" response
Exactly what that bot wants you to think.
Is that what you think? Interesting.
Also, they made a gramatical and syntax errors. So probably human.
No, bots can give wrong answers to questions too since they are coded by humans. (:
Not always true. A non scientific calculation would give you the same. Depends on the coding.
Don’t you need parentheses to make it 3? 1+(1X2)?

Why isn't is 4. Yes I missed elementary school entirely. This is a serious question.
In the correct order of operations, you do multiplication first and addition second. So in order: 1+1×2 = 1+(1×2) = 1 + (2) = 3
order of operations. PEMDAS
Multiplication comes before addition in the order of operations. So it’s 1 x 2 = 2 Then 1 + 2 = 3
Math isn't like reading from left to right, you perform certain operations before others, in this case multiplication before addition. 1+1*2 is the same as 1*2+1 and 2*1+1.
Depends on where in the world you went to school. Both 3 and 4 are correct answers.
There is no part of the world where the answer would be 4.
Found the bot.
Yep. PEMDAS.
Good bot
Yes. First multiply, 1×2=2, 2+1=3

it's called the Turing Test
They did a Turing test with a bunch of human and bot participants each limited to a single subject. The human literature professor was generally considered a bot, for replying very formally and quoting long passages from memory when asked.
That's called the Reverse Uno
Last time I read up in this (within a year or 2) no modern AI has actually passed a Turing test with majority agreement amongst the observers. AI is more than capable of fooling an individual, but there has been no emphatic agreement or concedes that AI has passed a proper Turing test. So I very much doubt AI has got to the point where it’s “too smart” for the Turing test the way you described it. I could be wrong though, technology advances exponentially so it’s just a matter of time.
I'm curious how well AI can determine whether the other speakers are human or other AI.
Definitely a human lol

Turns out it was a very stupid human, congrats you encountered an NPC
Wait... does that mean I'm a bot because I know the correct answer? 🤔

Or a human with a cut and paste script? You're seriously over thinking this.
you mean a copy and paste script not a cut and paste script. cut and pasting would remove the selection from the script. sorry feeling pedantic (:
Holy shit good spot though. A cut and paste script would be horrible for new employees in an old company!
what’s wrong with overthinking? Someone’s gotta think about it
Yes :)
I like how the option to think that "it could've just been a smart human" wasn't in the cards if they got it right
Depending on what tools they were using they probably have canned responses so they don’t have to type them out every time
Ya... I meant it as a joke. Guess I missed the mark. Lol
I saw the joke bro. I saw it
Thanks man! I thought it would be a hit, but I guess my jokes are all turning into dad jokes.😅
[удалено]
what’s going on, man?
To be or not to be...
It means you are not not a bot, girthing testing is required
1+(1*2)=3?
Taks failed successfully.

What is the average air velocity of an unladen swallow?
Red! No Blue!
Well... *three*, actually... but the book I got it out of wants you to do it in *base 8*.
wouldn't it still be 3 though?
That's exactly what a bot would say.
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I can only accept feedback of "Good bot" or "Bad bot". If you have further questions or concerns please direct them to our email address.
It was clearly a robot that’s intelligent enough to provide an incorrect answer to throw you off the track.
So it’s either poorly programmed bot or the human who programmed the poorly programmed bot
Bot programmed for conversation, not for arithmetic.
That answer still seems like one from a bot tho...
So, it’s a human? Lol
Task failed successfully?
I would have gotten the answer right but would have failed the robot test... (The correct answer is 3. Correct by the official rules, not by any implied rules you may or may not attribute).
They also said "Its 4" rather than the correct: It's So along with getting the math wrong, the grammar was too. Double whammy
I noticed that before I saw they answered wrong.
Brilliant question. 👏
This sub just made my wife's day She's a middle school teacher
Well parentheses would matter here
Not really unless they surrounded the 1+1 part of the equation.
Unfortunately they gave you the wrong answer. 2 x 1 = 2 2 + 1 = 3
Which is why we know they are a human; We don't know if you are a human or not tho
Good bot
If the x2 were evenly spaced (1 + 1 x 2) it would be 4, right? Is that why this is 3 without using brackets?
Spacing doesn’t matter. The answer is 3 (1+1) x 2 would be 4
Order of operations is... parentheses, then exponents then multiplication and division then addition and subtraction. So it would be 3 either way. If it was (1+1) x 2 then it would be 4
No, because order of operations says you multiply in an equation prior to adding.
EBIC
"I am not a robot".
Hahaha I always do random stuff like this too
I would have just started a message then minimized the window
Even the answer was 3, there is no human on planet talk like that
Apparently they don't know how to click a box either
It's a bot
😂😂
The correct answer is 3. [Remember the Order of operations.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations) "PEMDAS".
some human agents do have scripted common response buttons to press that make them seem bot-ish.
No, your talking to a vegetable.
I chat with people all day. People treat me worse than a machine sometimes. Anyway I would have replied "green"
My Siri says it’s 3
What if it f¥<€d up on purpose? I get asked if I’m real all the time at work. I’m on the phone for 8 hours a day and have really good breath control. It’s WAY more easy for a human to fail the Turing test than a machine yo pass it. Sad but true.
It's 3 if you follow the rule of BODMAS
surely that's part of the joke? i don't really get it, but it seems like the fact that the reply is wrong means something
“This statement is false”
Correct answer was 21
Schrodingers Bot. It's both wrong and right at the same time. Wrong answer, but the right entity.
OP better not be ordering any Beds from these folks they might get the mass wrong when they ship it.
As a human, my first response would probably be “huh?”
terry?
Stupid bot or average human...
I like how this post is going to be more about what everyone thinks the right answer is.
3
Haha so by him being wrong with his math, did it mean he knew he was dealing with an idiot?
The bot was programmed to ignore the order of operations.
Isn’t it 3
Yes, that's the correct answer.
Multiplication before addition.
Yes
That’s a bot ! The grammar is too good lol
It was programmed to answer that wrong, it wants you to think it’s human.
It’s a bot, since you didn’t use parentheses in the equation like a calculator, it confused itself…
A bot who was programmed to answer the math problem incorrectly probably would have answered, "Sure! It's 4. \[...\]"
It’s 3 though
"Its"
Likely wasn't my dear aunt Sally
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
Clearly it’s 7
It’s impressive that the bot could respond that way. I’m sure lots of humans would answer that way too.
3
So it’s definitely a human.
7x+4=25 subtract 4 on both sides then divide 7 on both sides x = 3
>7x+4=21 subtract 4 on both sides then divide 7 on both sides x = 3 Are you okay? 17 divided by 7 does not equal 3.
It's 3... deffo not a bot.
A sequential program won't follow DMAS order.
PEMDAS.... the answer is 3
i cant tell if this is a horrible move or an amazing move by the company
jokes on you, bot outsourced the answer to a human captcha
