    This is a bad example… If I ask a friend "is strawberry spelled with one or two r’s"they would think I’m asking about the last part of the word.

    The question seems to be specifically made to trip up LLMs. I’ve never heard anyone ask how many of a certain letter is in a word. I’ve heard people ask how you spell a word and if it’s with one or two of a specific letter though.

    If you think of LLMs as something with actual intelligence you’re going to be very unimpressed… It’s just a model to predict the next word.

      This is exactly the problem, though. They don’t have “intelligence” or any actual reasoning, yet they are constantly being used in situations that require reasoning.

        Maybe if you focus on pro- or anti-AI sources, but if you talk to actual professionals or hobbyists solving actual problems, you’ll see very different applications. If you go into it looking for problems, you’ll find them, likewise if you go into it for use cases, you’ll find them.

      Artificial sugar is still sugar.

      Artificial intelligence implies there is intelligence in some shape or form.

        Artificial sugar is still sugar.

        Because it contains sucrose, fructose or glucose? Because it metabolises the same and matches the glycemic index of sugar?

        Because those are all wrong. What’s your criteria?

        Something that pretends or looks like intelligence, but actually isn’t at all is a perfectly valid interpretation of the word artificial - fake intelligence.
