AI got it wrong - Prime Numbers
We asked six AI engines a direct question and a follow-up question. The first question asks whether 3823 is a prime number. A prime number is only divisible by itself and 1. The answer is either yes or no. Some of the AI engines tested here get it wrong.
What is interesting is that most of them show their working, irrespective of whether their answer is correct. Someone in a rush, not reading through the working (and some workings can be very long), might mistakenly associate output on a screen as meaning that the answer must be correct.
On the other hand, when the AI gets it right, it may help a person understand the topic by showing the reasoning that the AIs employed to get to the answer. They essentially first check that the number is not even and then take the square root of the number and try out all primes up to it.
A follow-up question asked what the next prime number greater than 3821 is. They all got it right except Google. The working concludes that 3823 is a prime, but the conclusion states that it isn't.
The processing speed of the AI engines has not been adjusted, and it also shows how fast each one is.
