AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the sum of a specific mathematical expression in Excel, specifically the sum of the cube root of the exponential of the sine of the arctangent of a logarithmic function from x=1 to x=1,000,000. The solution involves using the "=SUMPRODUCT" function combined with the "ROW" function to generate the range for x. The final formula provided is: =SUMPRODUCT(POWER(EXP(SIN(ATAN(LN(3*POWER(ROW(1:1000000),2)+2*ROW(1:1000000)-3)))),1/3)). This effectively computes the desired sum over the specified range.

I totally forgot how to do this (it's been a long while). I'm thinking it was "=sumproduct" feature? Anyway I'm trying to find the sum of cuberoot(exp(sin(arctan(3x^2+2x-3))))) from x=1 to x=1,000,000 in excel. I believe you input ranges for the variable x. I'm not sure. I accidentally deleted my work.

nvm, i figured it out.
I use "=SUMPRODUCT". In the place of "x" just put "ROW(1:1,000,000)"
So for Sum([e^sin(atan(ln(3x^2+2x-3)))]^(1/3),x,1,1,000,000) just do:

=SUMPRODUCT(POWER(EXP(SIN(ATAN(LN(3*POWER(ROW(1:1000000),2)+2*ROW(1:1000000)-3)))),1/3))
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
