You know how Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) could still make mistakes in float numbers?
For example, it could still think that 1.11 ≥ 1.2, this is because. it interpreted 1.11 as 1 and 11 and compares them with 1 and 2.
I am sure you have seen this on a LinkedIn post or X post, and using this as grounds to claim that GAI is not ready yet or cannot “replace” humans. I don’t care enough to dispute them. But it made me think, what if the GAI is right? Our numbering representation is the one that is flawed?
Why can’t 1.11 ≥ 1.2? If it is using IP address semantics, it is! Why can’t we also do that? every decimal point is a separator of 3 digits, for example:
This actually looks much cleaner.
This is probably not a new idea but I just wanted to write my thoughts down :)
