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.

Also ignoring the fact it said one r was in the middle of the word
There is a middle ground between "blindly rejecting" and "blindly believing" whatever an AI says.
LLMs use tokens. The answer is "correct, in its own way", one just needs to explore why and how much. Turns out, that can also lead to insights.
It is not correct in any way, though. Unless you count a way you gave it to justify it's wrong answer, but that is just it being a Yes Man to keep you engaged.
That's a lot of words to say it's wrong.
The question is incredibly straightforward, and again the "reason" it gave is one you provided in the clarifying question itself. There is no reasoning going on, because it can't understand the question (or reason for that matter).
Ah cool, you've resorted to being a jerk. Have fun wasting water and electricity overthinking wrong answers from chatbots.
