Ask literally any of the LLM chat bots out there still using any headless GPT instances from 2023 how many Rs there are in “strawberry,” and enjoy. 🍓
That was both hilarious and painful.
And I don't mean to always hate on it - the tech is useful in some contexts, I just can't stand that we call it 'intelligence'.
LLMs don’t see words, they see tokens. They were always just guessing
This problem is due to the fact that the AI isnt using english words internally, it's tokenizing. There are no Rs in {35006}.
