GPT 3.5
To solve this expression, let's follow the order of operations (PEMDAS acronym):

1. First, perform the operation inside the parentheses:
-12 + 2(4)² ÷ 2
-12 + 2(16) ÷ 2

2. Next, perform the exponent:
-12 + 2(16) ÷ 2
-12 + 2(256) ÷ 2

3. Then, perform the multiplication:
-12 + 2(256) ÷ 2
-12 + 512 ÷ 2

4. Continue with the division:
-12 + 512 ÷ 2
-12 + 256

5. Finally, perform the addition:
-12 + 256 = 244

Therefore, -12 + 2(4)² ÷ 2 = 244.
