At a guess, when people ask it to "sum the numbers above", they usually test it on the sequence 1,2,3,4,5. It's an LLM, it's doesn't process its input, it returns one of the most probable tokens based on what it's seen before. If it actually becomes a "thing", crashing the global economy is the least of our worries.

There's a "it's in the product" thing, and a "people actually, seriously, use it fir actual work" thing. We've got the first, I'm hoping that enough people get burnt by it being wrong, in non-serious ways, that noone tries to use it seriously. Hope and expectation are different things though. sigh
