Ask literally any of the LLM chat bots out there still using any headless GPT instances from 2023 how many Rs there are in “strawberry,” and enjoy. 🍓
This problem is due to the fact that the AI isnt using english words internally, it's tokenizing. There are no Rs in {35006}.
That was both hilarious and painful.
And I don't mean to always hate on it - the tech is useful in some contexts, I just can't stand that we call it 'intelligence'.
LLMs don’t see words, they see tokens. They were always just guessing
