Oh it tried to convince me that four is not larger than one. :) It went like this:
At first I asked ChatGPT to summarise J.C. Owen’s contribution to geometric constraint solving. It gave me an answer which might be even correct. It sounded correct anyway. Then I have asked for a worked example of his method used on a toy geometric constraint system. It run into problems with that. Chiefly that the system is selected was under constrained.
When I asked about that it insisted that it is well constrained. It even volunteared the info that for a system to be well constrained it needs as many variables as constraint equations. Then it told me that the system it generated has 4 variables and 1 equation.
As a last question I asked if “Is four larger than 1?” and it resolved the seeming contradiction by telling me that in the context of geometric constraint solving four is not larger than one. One does learn a new thing every day. :)
