LLMs and Unix Timestamp
2 points by zipotm 5 months ago | 3 commentsHello, I've tried requesting different AIs to convert 1737873496 into a readable format, but it turns out that it's not an easy task.
- Terr_ 5 months agoThat's kind of like asking an algebra equation solver to help you find synonyms for English words.
It's a very easy task, but LLMs aren't designed to do that kind. At best, someone has manually created a layer that notices your question involves math, "steals" the work from the LLM, and tries to reach the answer another way.
There are already plenty of websites that will convert the number for you.
- beardyw 5 months agoTrue. The phrase
"when your only tool is a hammer every problem is a nail"
seems to apply to AI very neatly.
