    I’ve already had more than one conversation where people quote AI as if it were a source, like quoting google as a source. When I showed them how it can sometimes lie and explain it’s not a primary source for anything I just get that blank stare like I have two heads.

    Doc: That’s an interesting name, Mr…

    Fletch: Babar.

    Doc: Is that with one B or two?

    Fletch: One. B-A-B-A-R.

    Doc: That’s two.

    Fletch: Yeah, but not right next to each other, that’s what I thought you meant.

    Doc: Isn’t there a children’s book about an elephant named Babar.

    Fletch: Ha, ha, ha. I wouldn’t know. I don’t have any.

    Doc: No children?

    Fletch: No elephant books.

      Still, it’s kinda insane how two years ago we didn’t imagine we would be instructing programs like “be helpful but avoid sensitive topics”.

      That was definitely a big step in AI.

    Works fine for me in o3-mini-high:

    Counting letters in “strawberry”

    Alright, I’m checking: the word “strawberry” is spelled S T R A W B E R R Y. Let me count the letters: S (1), T (2), R (3), A (4), W (5), B (6), E (7), R (8), R (9), Y (10). There are three R’s: in positions 3, 8, and 9. So, the answer is 3. Even if we ignore case, the count still holds. Therefore, there are 3 r’s in “strawberry.”

    What would have been different about this if it had impressed you? It answered the literal question and also the question the user was actually trying to ask.

        OHHHHHHH… my bad. I’m an idiot. Being an LLM it’s giving the answer it thinks a human such as myself would come up with.

      But you realize that it’s wrong on both counts, right?

      Strawberry has three Rs or two Rs in the wrong spelling.

    The terrifying thing is everyone criticising the LLM as being poor, however it excelled at the task.

    The question asked was how many R in strawbery and it answered. 2.

    It also detected the typo and offered the correct spelling.

    What’s the issue I’m missing?
