From writing essays to coding programs, there’s seemingly nothing modern AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Bing Chat cannot accomplish. But even though they seem limitless on the surface, they’re certainly not perfect. For one, these chatbots tend to make factual errors when talking about an obscure or lesser-known subject. Likewise, you may have heard that ChatGPT isn’t very adept at solving math problems.

So in this article, let’s dissect ChatGPT’s mathematical abilities and see how you can improve the chatbot in this area.

Now that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 is out, you should buy the Z Fold 4 https://ift.tt/SkZehlH

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is officially here and the final product seems very much in line with what we expected from those rumors and leaks. Although Samsung is bringing a few improvements to the table, it’s clear that the Z Fold 5 is merely a minor upgrade from the Z Fold 4. That’s why, with bigger deals and discounts, we think the best Galaxy Fold to buy right now is the older Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Few upgrades on paper

“Success breeds complacency” — an old adage that’s very apt when discussing Samsung’s latest foldable line-up. If you’d been hoping for Samsung to rip up the playbook in favor of more daring fifth-generation foldables, disappointment was inevitable. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 may remain the pinnacle of the form factor, but it’s hard not to have come away from the recent announcements a little deflated, perhaps even bored by the industry’s supposedly most innovative area of development.

Aside from the bigger cover screen on the Flip, flatter hinge, and marginally upgraded internals, you’d struggle to tell these products apart from their predecessors. It’s all very incremental and has been for years. You could go back two, perhaps even three generations, and still struggle to pick out a compelling reason to upgrade to the new model. The sluggish pace of innovation is all very iPhone-esque — a pretty sorry state of affairs for the industry’s fledgling form factor.

All I want Google, Samsung, and Apple to do is copy this Garmin watch feature https://ift.tt/pEqh9y5

I’m not shy about my appreciation of Garmin devices, especially when it comes to trekking up mountains and getting lost in the woods. However, my latest Garmin obsession has nothing to do with stats or GPS accuracy. Instead, it’s an add-on feature I’m jonesing to see other wearable brands adopt. The Garmin LED flashlight ceremoniously making its way to many of the company’s top multisport devices is surprisingly useful, and not just for adventuring. I’d drop extra cash to see leaders like Samsung, Apple, and Google elevate their smartwatches with this highly-useful tool.

I desperately want to see Samsung, Apple, and Google adopt Garmin's built-in LED flashlight on their own devices.

Before you get your hands on an equipped Garmin watch, an LED flashlight on your fitness tracker may sound like a gimmick. Even listing top use cases makes the addition sound logical, but not wholly necessary. Once you’ve strapped one to your wrist though, I assure you, you’ll be sold. Just like the flashlight on your smartphone, Garmin’s built-in flashlight comes in handy on a daily basis for everyday tasks.

Samsung, not Google, is why I’m confident about the future of Android tablets https://ift.tt/0J3Z4vH

The future of Android tablets is looking brighter these days. For more than a decade, Google tried, failed, retried half-heartedly, abandoned its large-screen projects, pivoted to Chrome OS then reverted that decision, all with the attention span of Finding Nemo’s Dory. Despite all of that, both Android on tablets and Android tablets are in a good place now.

The operating system is better adapted for big screens, Google apps are looking good on them, and there’s enough traction to get more third-party developers involved. From a hardware perspective, your choice spans from budget tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite all the way to the high-end Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, passing by Xiaomi Pads, the OnePlus Pad, and Google’s very own Pixel Tablet.

5 Android apps you shouldn’t miss this week – Android Apps Weekly https://ift.tt/MzLZ9jT

Welcome to the 494th edition of Android Apps Weekly. Here are the big headlines from the last week:

• Android 14 beta 4.1 landed this week. It brought with it a long list of bug fixes and performance improvements. This is fairly typical for an Android update this late into the cycle as the stable version creeps closer. Among the changes was Android 14’s work profile and how it suspends apps once you switch out of the profile. As Android 14 progresses, we bemoan the end of Android 4.4 KitKat, which is officially losing support in Google Play Services.
• Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta are teaming up to take on Google Maps and Apple Maps. The two mainstays in the navigation space have ruled the roost for a long time. With this alliance of huge tech companies, there may be a third option here before too long. Click the link to read more about it.
• Elon Musk is at it again at Twitter this week. Or rather, we should say that Elon Musk is at it at X this week. The eccentric owner changed Twitter’s branding to X, including removing the Twitter logo for an X logo. Hit the link to learn more. The company is also considering charging folks for more than 500 DMs a day to help control bot spam.
• Bing Chat has begun pushing Bing Chat to Safari and Chrome this week. This lets folks not on Edge chat with Bing’s ChatGPT. People on those browsers have usage and character limits, so you predictably don’t get the full experience unless you use Microsoft Edge. The update is rolling out so you’ll see it eventually.
• Google announced a new Play Store specifically for foldables and tablets this week. The new Play Store lets you only search for apps that are optimized for larger or foldable screens. This is a good idea, since you can turn on recommendations for non-optimized apps if you want to. Google has spent the last couple of years trying to get developers to optimize apps for larger displays. Now, those developers have to if they want to be involved with this new Play Store.

Exclusive: These are the new Pixel Watch 2 watch faces https://ift.tt/MzLZ9jT

A lot can be said about the original Pixel Watch, but one thing that is certain is that it’s a showcase for Google’s vision of the ideal smartwatch. From the sleek, modern design to the Material UI design that stretches across the entire system, it’s exactly what to expect from a Google product. One element that’s undeniably important in a smartwatch is the watch face, and Google has made sure to build plenty of unique options to pick from. From super minimalistic ones to more complex options for users that require more utility.

The much anticipated Google Pixel Watch 2 builds on this library, adding four new highly-configurable options to pick from (it currently appears that they will remain exclusive to the second-gen watch). Thanks to an anonymous source inside Google, we can show the watch faces in action.
