Gemini demonstrates both accuracy and errors in byte calculation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user tested Gemini's capabilities by providing it with a disassembler output and asking about the byte count for an entry stub trampoline. Gemini correctly identified the byte counts for the copied instructions and the mov/jmp to address, but then incorrectly calculated the total sum. This incident highlights the model's ability to be both highly accurate and surprisingly inaccurate within a short interaction. AI

    Taking one of these "intro to the cybers" types of courses. For the sake of my own amusement, I gave Gemini a disassembler print out and asked it how many bytes were necessary for an entry stub trampoline. It said 15 bytes for the copied instructions (which was correct) and then …
