chat-gpt

Wolfram Alpha is an incredibly useful plugin for ChatGPT. Since many don’t yet have access to the plugins, I demo’d it in this video: Approximate Transcript: This video is a demo of the Wolfram Alpha chat GPT plugin, I’m gonna try to go through all of the things that it says it can do. In this video and kind of show also somebody pointed out that you could click on the thing to see kind of how it’s thinking and processing, I’m going to try to do that as well. There is a little bit of a limitation here, while I have access to all the plugins, there’s two that I don’t the the actual the open AI plugins, the code interpreter plugin would dramatically enhance Wolfram Alpha as we would be able to use use it on our own data on large datasets, like an upload a spreadsheet, or a CSV or something. We can’t do that. So we’re gonna have to kind of play with that a little bit. But let’s work through this here. I’m actually going to do this one at a time. So mathematical calculations, I’m going to ask it some funky calculation. Let’s see what it does. Okay, here’s my through else’s done integrals. So let’s see. Let’s see what it does. Alright, so make sure click on this solve integrate the input response? It’s I can’t really, because it’s it’s calculations or is it steps? The creatively solving for x by finding the roots of the polynomial equation resulting from the blah, blah. I like that it’s kind of showing its work to some degree, it’s telling us what it’s doing. Really Sure. Pause for a second. These routes are expressed, oh, x equals? It’s been a long time since I’ve done integrals. I don’t recognize it’s possible. This is a limitation of kind of a chat thing here. I don’t really recognize the answer. But it seems like it’s giving me multiple answers. Maybe there are multiple x values that solve this. And I don’t really understand that. So maybe somebody who knows a little more up to date with math notation can give that to me. So, but that’s still pretty neat that it can do that. Because, you know, my understanding is that some of these integrals can be extremely complex and hard to solve. Okay, let’s try this as well, data analysis. So obviously, we can’t do the heavy data analysis, because we can’t input that much data. I could probably copy and paste from a spreadsheet, but it’s unclear how much of that would do. We could, you know, I will try that second. But let’s also do visualization. So we’re going to do is graph, please, we always want to be polite to our robot overlords, please graph this equation. Let’s see what it does. Let’s scroll down. And let’s make sure we can see what it’s doing while it’s thinking. It created an image. And it’s going to show us that image, I think within here, the images look pretty good. Sometimes, I’ve had been able to get it to do even a 3d image, which is pretty neat, a 3d graph. Okay, did it not a bad job of that? Let’s try. Let’s let’s try doing creating a spreadsheet real quick. And then just copying and pasting it into here. Okay, so what I did was I downloaded the last five years of stock data for for Microsoft, let’s actually, let’s just do one of the the listings and let’s graph this. Let’s have a graphic and see if that works. Please graph the data. Let’s see if it was it might not be too much. Curious if it’s going to put this in for every single input here. Oh, pause while it works through this. And I’ll show you the end result. It might be here a while because it looks like it’s inputting every line one by one. And this is five years worth of data. So you know, five times 365. You know, that’s what like 17 1800 different lines and it’s doing it very slowly. So give me a minute. We’re not sure exactly what happened here because it stopped showing its work here and it gave an error. Indeterminate string starting line comb wonder if it just didn’t like some of the data on 570. It’s just missing. Maybe it didn’t like that. It jumped dates for some reason, I guess I guess over the weekend, they did they just don’t. The stock market isn’t open. And maybe Wolfram Alpha didn’t like that. And let’s see what it said to create the group If Okay, so it only has a little bit of data, and it only created over a very short period of time. That’s interesting. It didn’t like it. I think this will be resolved quite a bit with the code interpreter plugin if I had that. So I’m not super concerned that it that it kind of barfed on the on the data. Well, it had a it had a break here. So it’s unclear why that would be an issue. Who knows why, what does this click on this cloud plugin? Okay, well, page it says page at the top page unavailable. Interesting. Okay, let’s go back up to the top and scientific computations okay, I wonder what the what we can do with this? How about please calculate the next five dates when Mars will be closest to the earth. actually kind of curious about that summarized it. Next five Mars opposition dates. I don’t know if that’s the correct term could not understand. Okay. Mars opposition date? So it didn’t understand that. So it’s digging a little bit deeper and trying to figure out what this is nearest opposition to Mars? I wonder if this is correct. Let’s actually check this answer. No, that’s it’s opposition dates. So 2020 to 2025 2047 2029
