Geometric Loci and ChatGPT: Caveat Emptor!

  • Francisco Botana and
  • Tomas Recio

We compare the performance of two systems, ChatGPT 3.5 and GeoGebra 5, in a restricted, but quite relevant, benchmark from the realm of classical geometry: the determination of geometric loci, focusing, in particular, on the computation of envelopes...
