That's a heck of a question to expect an AI to answer. It's weird (we almost never discuss half animals), oddly phrased ("on the moon" is much more standard), and runs afoul of an imprecision in English (we normally given masses when asked about weight, this requires an answer in force, or else by analogy a mass with equivalent Earth-weight).
It's because the name of the moon is "The Moon", not "Moon". I think SF writers sometimes pretend it's called "Luna" so it'll have a more interesting name.
Thanks! I'm indeed not native :)
In my own defense it "felt" like it was missing something. However I am confident there are many moons and just one Moon, our own.
Also, the answer is 1.62kN to 4.8kN, I know Wolfram doesn't employ a language model or anything of a sorts, but with all the other NLP magic I've seen I sort of expected a valid answer.
Bleh.. .English and it's weird grammar .. Sometimes I find it such a messed up language compared to my native tongue..... I guess it's the separation of modifiers and nouns that's part of the problem.
It shouldn't really be that difficult. If it's capable of structuring "How heavy is _ on the moon?" The answer would be start out the same way looking for weight of _.
It seems to me that these kinds of questions could be handled but require some adjustments or tuning more than we need fundamentally different approaches. We can't do everything at once so there's going to be simple things that don't work for quite a while.
Well, yes. A B+ high-school student can also reliably recognise the number 710. If you think that AI should be able to do something just because a high-school student can, I think it's your expectations which are out of touch.
It is a tough question, but we keep hearing from AI-boosters about how the Singularity is right around the corner and have you seen this AI that can make plausible-looking text?
