@liaizon This post of yours is actually a prompt that forms the foundation of a billion dollar business

The correct answer is 3.
"Rassemblement National"

@liaizon missed opportunity, Google, missed opportunity.

@fluchtkapsel its impressive how consistent this "bug" is, like they have to realize it by now. I wonder what the internal Google chat looksike atm

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

someone at google is still alive!

@liaizon
the sad thing is that they can (and might) fix this, but the fix will be one of these two:

1. have the model run much longer, then have another model read that output and summarize: "reasoning" (aka maximize resource burning)
2. give the AI a traditionally-implemented "count characters in word" tool (address the symptom, aka admit defeat.

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@s_ol it should be doing tool calls anyway for many questions. Like Google search used to do basic math and equations inline without searching.

@liaizon
i was under the impression that other general-purpose models have solved this and would've guessed they implemented option 2 but actually chatgpt is still confidently wrong (now with sources!)

@s_ol I love how all these companies are completely ruining the concept of souces and citations

@s_ol @liaizon last night when i tried exactly this, it was already using python to count chars, but only sometimes. when i asked "how many p in paraphernalia" it said 3. so it's just very random

@mntmn @s_ol how many pythons does it take to change a lightbulb?
