Large-language models (LLMs) are fantastic at giving general responses to questions.
ChatGPT, how many emperor penguins would I need to stack on each other to get to the moon?
Emperor penguins are typically about 1.2 meters tall. The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers, or 384,400,000 meters. So, if you were to stack emperor penguins on top of each other to reach the moon, you would need approximately 384,400,000 / 1.2 = 320,333,333 penguins. However, this is purely hypothetical and not practically possible. Also, it's important to note that the distance to the moon can vary depending on its position in its orbit.
But what if I want it to respond in a certain way? What if instead of giving me a verbose explanation on my (vital) emperor penguin problem, I just wanted it to give me the direct numerical answer and skip the chitchat?
