I once asked the lyrics to Pink Floyd Another Brick In The Wall where it says "you can't have any pudding" and Google AI had the wrong lyrics.
Later it appeared to fix it but I found it hilarious that it's AI was so stupid.
*huge nerd voice* well actually subword tokenization means that it's ok these things can't do tasks that would be easy for a grade-schooler. it's not an illustrative example of the inductive bias introduced in model design that affects them in many other tasks
not only is it super smart, ackshually human brains = generative AI totally trust. we're all just Algorithms on a computer if you haven't grown up from 2010 pop science allegories
I’m really hoping everyone realizes that AI is no different than a search engine or program you used 15 years ago. Except that tech companies push it as advancement. Its sole purposes are to eliminate jobs for billionaires and keep human cognitive thought at a minimum.
A Ouija board can't read five websites and summarize it's findings for me. Of course I never just go off of what it says, I take its answer and verify. Only an idiot would take what they see at face value especially from a source like that
I find the fun in understanding how it got it wrong. It looks like even though you put R's in quotes, it counted how many R's and S's are in the word. I imagine asking the question with different syntax would probably work "how many times does the letter R appear in Strawberry"
You're asking it a completely different question though. The original phrase asks about 'strawberry pie', you only asked 'strawberry'. Wording it your way but including 'pie' changes the answer completely.
I tried it on Nascence 3zB and it said "I recognize this question as outside my scope of competence, so I won't try to answer it. I'm just not good at tasks involving counting words and letters." Just kidding, NO AI has that kind of integrity.
Most of the online llms don't compute answer in the mathematical sense. Your question was one of computation, not knowledge. The llm tells you the most popular answer for questions similar to yours, whatever it is.
You just go right ahead and find me ANY source that might be in the ChatGPT training corpus a) prior to 3/19/2025 that b) says there are four R's in "strawberry pie." Or that describes a counting method that gives that results. Don't blame this one on the training corpus.
Chatgpt gives the same '2' answer, but if I ask it to 'count' the characters and not the phonemes, it recognizes the computational request, processes it, and then uses the llm to explain a correct answer back to me.
A doctor, a lawyer and a statistician went hunting. The doctor took the first shot, missing five feet to the left. The lawyer shot five feet to the right. The deer froze, then ran. "Why didn't you take the shot?" They asked the statistician.
"Between the two of you, you already had a bullseye!"
Not as funny, but I did a Google search for "bats" (the flying mammals) and Google's AI summary was entirely about a brand of inline skates called "Baats"--even though not one search hit within the first hundred was about Baats.
If you take the lowercase letter "p," remove the descending tail, then remove the lower half and right side of the rounded part, what remains is a lowercase "r."
Maybe that's what the robot sees? It's looking for available "r" shapes within the total word, not just the actual letters.
The AI fanboys have been saying that since 2022. And yet three years later the LLMs still hallucinate and the image generators still draw hands with six fingers.
Thank god our government will now be fully AI, and all jobs will be replaced by AI, finally humanity will really start to thrive like never before because we won’t be burdened by exhausting tasks like counting the numbers of r’s in the phrase strawberry pie, which we’d do incorrectly because human
You’d think they’d cheat at this point with how widely the meme has spread like all the other funny AI answers that were fucked up so they manually rewrote the answer
If you know music, these two wrong guesses on how many steps down these similar guitar tunings are had me shaking my head the other day. The regurgitation machine can't even figure out contradictions in what it's spitting out
This morning, I asked ChatGpt to create a data themed graphic including the words “we measure what we treasure.” It wrote “we measure wh we trassure.” I literally wrote the words for you AI 🙄 today my AI coworker was incompetent 😂
This just points the finger of blame firmly at the people who created it. They want you to be stupid. Because when you're stupid, you know, you are easier to control.
It is ‘artificial intelligence’. Not real intelligence coupled with thought, not knowledge, not an algorithm, but artificial intelligence.
Does anyone know if artificial intelligence can spell ‘artificial intelligence’?
Or make strawberry pie? 🍓 🥧
That makes it WORSE. The AI fans all say AI is improving so quickly that six months from now all problems will be fixed. But it is still making the same ones. And still drawing hands with six fingers.
Yesterday I was looking for the translation of French "girouette" and Google gave me a completely invented word in English : gyrouette, instead of weather vane🙄
' 30 seconds of coding could solve this problem
Function countLetter(theWord, theLetter)
Dim i As Integer
Dim ret As Integer
ret = 0
For i = 1 To Len(theWord)
If UCase(Mid(theWord, i, 1)) = UCase(theLetter) Then
ret = ret + 1
End If
Next i
countLetter = ret
End Function
Yet I use it all day for coding and it has made me, literally, 10 times more efficient. I am not “fellating” anything, I recognize when and how to use a useful tool, and I don’t use it to count the number of Rs in strawberry.
I’m the CTO of a company and have been coding for more than 30 years. I also use it for multiple popular open source projects. I think I’m ok at my job.
And it used 20 quadspillion gallons of water to get the wrong answer 2 times when instead of all of that I could just count and recoup the energy with a granola bar
Its purpose is not to count the letters in a phrase. I use it for coding, reverse engineering, database queries, and so forth, and it is often phenomenal at this. LLMs are rapidly becoming much more efficient and a typical query costs about 5mL of water. https://www.seangoedecke.com/water-impact-of-ai/
I just asked co-pilot how much water chat gpt uses and it told me you’re full of shit. It also says there’s 5 R’s in water which is weird because I didn’t even ask
The problem is that all these shitty AIs are being presented to every average Joe with internet access as the answer to any question they may have. I don’t care how responsibly you or anyone else uses it. The average person won’t know the difference. Truth and facts don’t exist anymore
I'm talking about me. if someone asked me this question, and I had all the knowledge of humanity, I'd mess with them. don't put words in my mouth please thank you
And btw there is nothing wrong with being emotional… it sounds like you think it’s wrong. Srsly I am not scared of AI, I have very good insight into AI and I think it is just a buzzword & it is not amazing breakthrough thing, so logically I hate the hype around it.

In seriousness the AI gets so much wrong
Two "R"'s are silent. They double "R" makes the same sound as the single "R" in "very"
Or "wrong" for that matter
Do better google
Thank you kind sir~🍓💜

Just like AI “helped” my art career. 😑
Seen the latest iteration that was released a few months ago?
That trend will continue.
Look out for the cars
Can you spell that
Without any Rs?
T-H-A-T-R
Dammit!
Luckily the internet isn’t already full of garbage and wrong information. Otherwise we’d be fucked

like properly recreating images of fingers and teeth for AI 😂😂😂🥴🤖
What could go wrong?
A. There are too many arses in the White House to count
Everyone knows the “r” in “pie” is silent
The English language never ceases to amaze
Does anyone know if artificial intelligence can spell ‘artificial intelligence’?

Oh. There it is. Michaela is threatened and scared.
