    ChatGPT can’t calculate. It can just ‘complete’ (maybe you could call it ‘generate’) text.

      I’m not sure that’s a fair categorization. It can code complete and perform mathematical calculations, even if the way it is achieving them is unconventional. For example, I asked it to answer a novel calculus question and it handled that:

      It doesn’t seem like such a leap then to calculate the “cooking refresh rate”, provided it has all the variables. The problem is, I don’t know all the variables necessary, so I can neither provide them nor tell it where/how to derive them.
