What does "solved with" mean? The author claims "I've solved", so did the author solve it or GPT?

When you use a calculator, did you really solve it or was it the calculator?

  • With a calculator I supply the arithmetic. It just executes it with no reasoning so im the solver. I can do the same with an LLM and still be the solver as long as it just follows my direction. Or I can give it a problem and let it reason and generate the arithmetic itself, in which case the LLM is effectively the solver. Thats why saying "I've solved X using only GPT" is ambiguous.

    But thanks for the downvote in addition to your useless comment.
