When we say LLMs don't know or understand anything, this is what we mean. This is a perfect example of an "AI" just not having any idea what it's doing.
But:
AIs do not understand anything. They just regurgitate in ways that the algorithm chooses. There's no attempt to make the algorithm right, or smart, or relevant, or anything except an algorithm that's just mashing up strings and vectors.
I was hoping for a sand clock and the python snake, but now I'm not sure if the sand clock is an international actuarial thing, or if is just a brazillian one. But for mathematical notation related to actuarial sciences the annuanity [1] is the main one, so 2/10.
Might be a Brazilian thing with the sand timer, but the annuity ä is imprinted on my brain, and it's been years since those exams. The tattoo needs some element of "what was this value last year?"
