Yeah, I always felt like I was either pointlessly restating the obvious or it expected me to derive the damn thing from first principles.

AI slop proof, just because I was curious if duck.ai could do it

Using the natural numbers defined from 0 by the successor operation S:

1=S(0), 2=S(1), ... , 20=S^20^(0), 40=S^40^(0)

Define a < b to mean that there exists a natural number k such that

a+k=b.

Take a=20 and k=20. By repeated addition,

20+20=40.

Since 20 is a natural number, there exists a natural number k such that

20+k=40.

Therefore, by the definition of the ordering relation,

20<40.

(Is it correct? Fuck if I know!)

A.I. is proving that 20<40 by:

  • creating a sequence
  • then completely disregarding that
  • then saying that since you can add 20 to itself to create 40 it must be less
  • then disregarding that and saying that the sequence of numbers proves it because we found 20 first

Honestly since it's such a simple equation, in real life you could just say 20<40 because 20<40. You don't really need to prove anything, the proof is in the logical operator. The homework question is dumb because it isn't clear what they're asking for.
