I have just finished reading this recently published and fascinating book. While Holman writes as a professional theologian, the book is very accessible to a lay reader like myself. 1/5

And to make matters worse, when I listed the first 32 prime numbers and asked Google AI to add them, I was given a different answer again.

I had originally asked Google AI to find me the sum of the first 32 prime numbers. I had been doing a math puzzle and wanted to check part of my work. The AI correctly listed the first 32 Prime Numbers but failed to add them correctly. The correct answer is 1851.

The AI in Google cannot even add 13 numbers. Asked to add the numbers 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 113, 127, 131. The AI gave the answer 1183. The correct answer is 1283 which I found both from using a spreadsheet and by doing it by hand, the old fashioned.
