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?
Uh oh, you’ve blown your cover, robot sir.
The issue that you are missing is that the AI answered that there is 1 'r' in 'strawbery' even though there are 2 'r's in the misspelled word. And the AI corrected the user with the correct spelling of the word 'strawberry' only to tell the user that there are 2 'r's in that word even though there are 3.
Sure, but for what purpose would you ever ask about the total number of a specific letter in a word? This isn't the gotcha that so many think it is. The LLM answers like it does because it makes perfect sense for someone to ask if a word is spelled with a single or double "r".
It makes perfect sense if you do mental acrobatics to explain why a wrong answer is actually correct.
Not mental acrobatics, just common sense.
