A lot of people think this is a sign of ChatGPT being incredibly stupid. The truth is ChatGPT was never smart. Most people just don't understand that modern AI systems are often designed to do only one thing well.

Since the hosts, Kent Hovind's biggest fan boys, are not known for their accuracy or intelligence, they are the perfect fit for faulty logic Fridays. Tonight I have Better than Ember joining me as we are about to kick off pride month in a few days, and she has stayed up to date on more transgender research than I have.Internet prodigy predicts the first 100 days of Donald Trumps stable geniusMad Computer Scientist2025-05-10 | I'm tired. I've taken the grad school finals. I've done my full time job, and it's time to let loose for a little bit. Let's see how much the AI got wrong and how much it got right.

I have permission to repost the audio but not the original video. Here is a brief blurb provided by the person who original recorded it who is no longer active on YouTube:
A modern controversy says that Ada Lovelace couldn't have been the first computer programmer because she didn't have the math skills. This is likely wrong, and even if Babbage published the first examples of code first, it's clear that Lovelace was a more competent programmer and had a better understanding of what the Analytical Engine could be.
I found the book "The Thrilling Adventures of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage" despite it being a graphic novel to be a well-researched, referenced and invaluable guide for this video.What is computer science? Is it science?Mad Computer Scientist2025-04-15 | I thought it'd be a good time to address the topic of what computer science is, and something many people ask. Is it a science? The answer depends on whether someone is asking about the sciences or if someone is asking about hard science. But in general, computer science belongs to the same branch of the sciences that mathematics does.PBD Podcast promotes Terrence Howards incoherent mathMad Computer Scientist2025-04-14 | Let's delve back into Terryology, and see if the former Iron Man actor is going to admit that he has been wrong all along or if he will double down on his bad math and physics.
Let's be grateful he doesn't have anything to say about computer science.

Take a few deep breaths, find your nearest towel, get your earplugs to avoid Vogon Poetry, and use these strategies to tackle even more complex problems.ChatGPT comes up with mathematical proof of GodMad Computer Scientist2025-04-05 | This is probably going to be interesting on a number of levels and I don't know if t his person is going to be onto something or just manipulating ChatGPT to get the answer he wants, unlike anything done by the Trump regime to come up with nonsensical tariff policy.You wont believe why you shouldnt use ChatGPT to fact check (other LLMs as well)Mad Computer Scientist2025-04-05 | I apologize for the clickbait title. I also hate that they seem to work. But there is something people need to stop doing. Using LLMs to fact check is not a good idea given how frequently they hallucinate.Elon Musks Qbitler Youth Save $0 cancelling VSCode licensesMad Computer Scientist2025-03-21 | Elon Musk, while not stupid, has not been known for his competency either. His Qbitler Youth recently tried to save the government money by cancelling unused VSCode licenses. One can only hope they meant Visual Studio, but the fiasco with not knowing the practice for default dates in COBOL code suggests a pattern of incompetence common in Musk's business dealings.Terryology Wars: the Mathematician Strikes BackMad Computer Scientist2025-03-08 | Join us at 10 PM EST as James De La Pena, math teacher and Terrence Howard critic, joins us to talk about the drone contest Howard ran.Angela Collier does not understand AIMad Computer Scientist2025-03-01 | Let's try to be as nice as possible tonight as we return to Dr. Collier who tried to update her views slightly. Unfortunately, she's still insisting AI isn't real. It might be time for her to clarify what she means.Lets use Python to create a Terrence Howard approved calculatorMad Computer Scientist2025-02-22 | You can't trust the calculator. It uses the bad math given to us by the Anunaki Sky people. Because we can't trust our calculators, let's use the Python programming language to build one we can trust.
For those who want to join in the mathematics revolution, you can contribute to this open source project here:
If by some miracle, people actually want to contribute and improve upon this, which deliberately includes faulty code, I will be greatly surprised. But honestly, sometimes jokes like this take on a life of their own.Unbelievable ancient technology according to Uncharted XMad Computer Scientist2025-02-15 | It's unbelievable because it didn't exist. Remember, this is the guy who thinks the Egyptians had CNC machines.Eric Dubay uses AI to not prove that the Big Bang is FalseMad Computer Scientist2025-02-09 | No one has accused Eric Dubay of having too much intelligence, but he's falling prey to a common appeal to authority fallacy used by people who have never studied artificial intelligence, where he doesn't understand how easily AI chatbots can be manipulated.Faulty Logic Fridays: AI Will Destory Us All!Mad Computer Scientist2025-01-25 | Or it won't. Is the extremism justified or are people just using annoying clickbait headlines? We here at the Mad Computer Scientist would never do such a thing.Kent Hovind fanbois love non sequitursMad Computer Scientist2025-01-18 | Welcome to Faulty Logic Fridays. Let's take a look at Real Science Radio and see how their hosts misunderstand error bars.Billy Carson goes to the MorgueMad Computer Scientist2025-01-11 | As if two pseudo scientists with no clue what they are talking about weren't enough, cult leader Morgue has chosen to weigh in on the issue. Morgue, at least, has a better grasp on math...
Why do I do this to myself?The Bubble Sort AlgorithmMad Computer Scientist2025-01-10 | Bubble sort is a simple algorithm that is often taught to new programmers that sneakily introduces them to the ideas of algorithmic efficiency.United Healthcare Stupidly Used AI Chatbots for Claim DenialsMad Computer Scientist2024-12-22 | Brian Thompson became a mass murderer because he trusted an AI chatbot to make healthcare decisions for people. While this likely saved United Healthcare millions of dollars, it's unknown how many lives were lost due to the high error rate of the chatbot in denying life-saving medical care.Two clueless Vloggers Peer Review Terrence HowardMad Computer Scientist2024-12-14 | We've hit 256 subscribers. That means we're halfway through one of the milestones to apply through monetization, and a little over a third of the way through in total watch hours. Come join me this Friday night to get some questions answered.Terrence Howard continues to fail arithmetic, geometry and physics; Billy Carson is still wrongMad Computer Scientist2024-11-30 | Why did I decide to put this up as a poll? I'm not even sure Howard will continue to believe these things once he is properly medicated or accepts that he's in a manic phase.
As for Billy, none of what he spouts is original to him. His ideas come from Zachariah Sitchens or Ben Van Kerkwyk.No, programmers did not program voting machines to favor Donald TrumpMad Computer Scientist2024-11-13 | At least there is no evidence of this. Proposing hand counts is one of the silliest ways I've seen of proving his when the government would simply be able to demand to see the source code in this particular circumstance.SecureTeam10 claims Dubious UFO Footage will break the InternetMad Computer Scientist2024-11-02 | Will it? Most likely not. But let's take a look and see what logical fallacies I can find that are hiding within his argument. Even nothing else, conspiracy theorists ranting about UFOS are alaways entertaining.A Muslim apologist confuses ChatGPT for an expertMad Computer Scientist2024-10-26 | At least I think that's what's happening. I was actually looking for something else to cover in this vein tonight, but I didn't wnat to get into someone thinking ChatGPT proves college is a waste of money.
Perhaps this person will su rprise meElon Musk and Tucker Carlson comment on artificial intelligenceMad Computer Scientist2024-10-12 | And it's hard to know which one of them has less relevant things to say because neither is that smart about technology.Hans Wormhat thinks Waterfalls are Fake but the Matrix is realMad Computer Scientist2024-09-21 | If Hans Wormhat were to be represented mathematically, he would be represented as the square root of a negative number because it's impossible to believe that he is real if you listen to him for more than 5 seconds.Laws of LogarithmsMad Computer Scientist2024-09-18 | The Long-awaited block buster sequel to the Laws of Exponents video promised earlier. I've kept it short because I certainly didn't ask myself whether I should redo this video or gouge my eyes out with a spoon while thinking "You really should have made that the exclusive OR, Mad Computer Scientist, because this means you can pick both options."The Most Ambitious Crossover Event Terrence Howard and Billy Carson, Superheroes of CluelessnessMad Computer Scientist2024-09-15 | I've tried to avoid covering Billy Carson because none of his ideas are original, and I believe Ben Van Kerkwyk is the originator of his more recent claims, but when he and Terrence Howard team up to spread bad math and bad science, it's time to put them on Faulty Logic Fridays. Yes, I know it's a Saturday when this aired. I was busy the previous night.The Quartering pontificates about tech topics. shows his IQ = the square root of a negative numberMad Computer Scientist2024-09-07 | I usually avoid The Quartering because it's clear he never knows what he's talking about, and his topics don't usually intersect with the main focus of this channel. However, what's he's doing here is something that has happend mroe than once on Faulty Logic Fridays, where someone who has no training with computer science or related fields uses ChatGPT and forgets that while the algorithm is itself not biased, the people who created the posts used for its training data can be.
Jordan Peterson also fails to make himself look good, but is anyone surprised?Seeing if Sal Giardina, frequent guess of Standing of Truth, is always as bad at math as Ive seenMad Computer Scientist2024-08-31 | I had a nice video picked out, and lost the link to it at some point. So here is something at the last minute, unless of course I change my mind.
Now, to be fair, the examples of his I have seen are likely chosen because he screwed up.Capturing Christianity Mistakes ChatGPT for a Research Tool and Gets the Wrong Answers he ExpectsMad Computer Scientist2024-08-24 | Capturing Christianity is someone whose content I've been exposed to, but the content I saw showed him as level-headed, even if I disagreed with his beliefs. Imane Khelif, a boxer in the olympics, has been the subject of controversy, and my issue here is that when you want to do research, you don't go to an LLM. You go to Google Scholar, your library, or track down relevant journal articles about Disorders of Sexual Development, and you do not rely on a machine that spits out text based on the prompts you feed it.Laws of ExponentsMad Computer Scientist2024-08-08 | Let's go over the laws of exponents quickly and see how they can help you solve math problems that might seem overwhelming at first.AI Channel Wisdom says everyone will be wiped out in 21 days (Posted 26 days ago.)Mad Computer Scientist2024-08-03 | Looks like we have a failed apocalypse prophecy for Faulty Logic Fridays. While this type of fear mongering commong among certain conspiracy theories, I feel like the failed prophecies should have attention called to them after they fail.The Book of Mormon Data Science Project and the K Nearest Neighbor AlgorithmMad Computer Scientist2024-07-30 | I encourage you to try something more robust or to a deeper analysis on your own if you know how. If you want to run the results for yourself, here is the Github repository:
(If you have a Python virtual environment installed just type in pip3 install jupyter.)
The documents must be one directory beneath the root directory you run the project from bofm.ipynb must be in the project's root directory.
And I did not expect the results of all the Polls to give the more likely authorship to Smith. If it had been multiple authors, I would expect around a 50% chance of each poll going to Poe, and a 50% chance of it going to Smith. If I had gotten 80% or higher I would say sole authorship was likely. I got 100% percent of the votes to show that the Book of Mormon writing was closer to Smth's than Poes, and this was not what i thought would happen.Is Terrence Howard Right about planets being formed the same way we defecate? Now with TapiocaWeaselMad Computer Scientist2024-07-27 | Tonight we're going to do what I hope will be the last Terrence Howard video. A PhD physicist is joinubg me, and sadly I'll probably interrupt him without intending to, to tell us if new planets are really formed by the sun defecating or if Terrence Howard misunderstands physics as badly as he misunderstands math.
Note: Howard supporters who want to argue about how someone who can't pass 2nd grade math is right, I will take your comments under consideration when you can show me you've taken a 2nd grade math refresher course and have passed a high school physics course in the past year.Implementing the Trial Division AlgorithmMad Computer Scientist2024-07-23 | The Trial Division algorithm is a way of obtaining the prime factorization of composite numbers. It occurred to me after recording the video I could completely remove the Isprime function, as it's redundant and unnecessary.
