Correct, so it isn't a "ChatGPT of Math", which was the point.

Tell Wolfram. They're the ones who've been advertising it for years, well before LLMs were a thing, using English-language prompts like these examples: https://www.pcmag.com/news/23-cool-non-math-things-you-can-d...

The problem has always been that you only get good answers if you happen to stumble on a specific question that it can handle. Combining Alpha with an LLM could actually be pretty awesome, but I'm sure it's easier said than done.

Before LLMs exploded nobody really expected WA to perform well at natural language comprehension. The expectations were at the level of "an ELIZA that knows math".
