  Ask an LLM (Large Language Model), or simply AI (Artificial Intelligence) model, to create an image that involves mathematical calculations that will be represented in it – something like "create an assessment which involves mathematical calculations based on an image containing a graph or geometric diagram that shows the problem to be solved". That is, ask the model to create a text assessment and a symbolic image that supports it. See the answer. You may have an unpleasant surprise: the calculations you asked for may not be exactly the way you imagined them to be in this image. This has some probability, not negligible, of happening. If you ask for the same thing WITHOUT the image, the answer will probably be much more accurate. After several tests in this perspective, there was evidence of errors as discussed in this paragraph. This can be treated as a type of limitation of the "mass" LLM models – general-purpose commercial models, accessible to the general pub...

    The problems associated with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which are increasing daily in everyday life and in schools, are not limited to simply understanding how AI works, but especially to how to structure one's thinking to know how to ask questions and analyze the answers it provides 1 . This reminds me of the famous Brazilian educator Paulo Freire and his book "For a Pedagogy of Questioning." Knowing how to ask questions is fundamental in any area of ​​knowledge.    Unfortunately, especially nowadays, few people actually know how to organize their thoughts due to a lack of cognitive training, and consequently, the much-desired metacognition doesn’t occur 2 .    Today, before training someone to understand how AI works, even though that seems fundamental to me, we need to train cognition. Something important – and sad – that AI is revealing, and which was masked in society, is the lack ...
