Just got schooled by an AI.
According to Wiktionary:
(UK) IPA(key): /ˈstɹɔːb(ə)ɹi/
(US) IPA(key): /ˈstɹɔˌbɛɹi/
…there are indeed only two /ɹ/ in strawberry.
So much for dissing on AIs for not being able to count.

A normal human would understand that the question is about the spelling, not the pronunciation.
AI still has a lot to learn.
It also is just making up a string of words that are probabilistically plausible as a continuation of the dialog.
You can do the same tests with other words and it will just contradict it’s self and get things wrong about how many times a letter is pronounced in a word.
It’s not a “normal human”, it’s an AI using an LLM.
Does it, though? Does a hammer have a lot to learn, or does the person wielding it have to learn how not to smash their own fingers?
Which we know by now often produces wrong answers.
Also, the term AI would assume some kind of intelligence, for which I see no evidence.
I’m seeing about as many wrong questions as wrong answers. We’re at a point, where it’s becoming more accurate to ask, whether the quality of the answer, is “aligned” with the quality of the question.
As for “AI” and “intelligence”… not so long ago, dogs had no intelligence or soul, and a tic-tac-toe machine was “AI”. The exact definition of “intelligence”, seems to constantly flow and bend, mostly following anthropocentric egocentrism trends.
No it wasn’t. It was (and is) a deterministic program. AI isn’t.
It still is: https://www.google.com/search?q=tic+tac+toe+ai
Plenty of examples out there.
