-: Let's hop into another lesson with Chat GPT
and the plugins.
Today we're gonna discuss Wolfram.
Wolfram is an amazing tool to use mathematical formulas
and information to solve problems such as DIY projects,
building a tree house,
or maybe finding the exact amount of paint
that you need to paint that bedroom.
The cool thing about Wolfram is
that it's uniquely beneficial for anything from AP calculus
to geometry, specific questions, volume questions.
If you got questions about salaries
and interest rates changing,
how much that you should invest into your savings account
and expect to get a return on in 10 years.
All of these different subjects
can be tackled using Wolfram.
The first prompt I'm gonna use is
only respond with relevant images
and information in each response,
and it must use Wolfram and Wolfram Alpha.
Now, it's important to specify this
because sometimes Chat GPT can't distinguish
between the Wolfram and Wolfram Alpha capabilities
and one of the highlights of Wolfram Alpha
is the ability to include diagrams, photos,
and graphs, et cetera, into it's answers.
We're gonna continue on.
What is the monthly payment on a $400,000 mortgage
with 6% interest in the state of California for 30 years?
Let's see what it does using Wolfram Alpha.
Now here we've got the generated response.
It's telling me what the approximate monthly payment
would be over the course of 30 years.
It's included the interest
and it's included two different charts
that I can reference to get the right information.
It's important with Wolfram to remind Chat GPT
to check its work, and we'll see about that
in some of the coming prompts.
Now I've asked Chad GPT to rerun the scenario
and consider that the interest rate would adjust to 10%
after 10 years.
As we see in real life the interest rate is not fixed
and it does continue to change.
It'll take this information,
run it through Wolfram, and give me a new updated answer.
As we can see, it's using Wolfram a couple times
and you can actually dive in to the actual information
that Chat GPT is putting in and check its work.
It's giving me all of the specific information
that I've asked for and adjustment,
and now we can see that some of the monthly payments
are changing.
It's giving me some information
on how adjustments can vary
depending on the specific terms of the mortgage,
and it's giving me an example of what that looks like.
It's giving me a medium scenario
that would have me pay $236,000 in interest
and giving me some charts showing that the payments
and balances over time.
Now, it's also noted
that the calculation assumes an adjustable rate mortgage
with a deep intel description
of everything that I would need to know
to further expand on this.
Now let's use Wolfram to run some basic chemistry.
First, we're gonna get it in the right mindset.
So I've dropped in this prompt.
Please type set chemical formulas
so that the subscripts are actually subscripted.
Let's do some chemistry.
Now, I've asked Chat GPT to gimme an example
of some basic compound formulas
so that I can ensure
what I asked for with the subscript is working correctly.
And as we see here,
it's successfully giving me the proper formula,
the name of the chemical compound,
and the correct scripted number, as well as the letters.
So we'll move forward
and ask it to balance a chemical equation for us.
The equation that I've asked Chat GPT to balance
can be seen here and it's using Wolfram
to make sure that it gives me the correct answer.
Let's see if this answer is correct.
Now, as we can see, it's given me a diagram
of the rate of reaction and it's given me
the balanced chemical equation.
How do we know if this is correct?
Well, another thing we can do is
tell it to use Wolfram Alpha to check its own work.
'Cause one of the most important
and coolest features of Wolfram is
that the product continues to change its answer
based off of what you put in.
I could re-put in the same exact formula
and it'll generate the answer slightly differently.
Now I'll type in and tell Chat GPT
to use Wolfram to check it's work.
We can see here the answer that is given
confirmed by Wolfram Alpha is
the same as the answer above,
exactly what we're looking for
and we're doing our proper dues
by checking on Chat GPT
because we understand that it's still new
and it may have errors.
