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.

it's an AI using an LLM

Which we know by now often produces wrong answers.

Also, the term AI would assume some kind of intelligence, for which I see no evidence.

I'm seeing about as many wrong questions as wrong answers. We're at a point, where it's becoming more accurate to ask, whether the quality of the answer, is "aligned" with the quality of the question.

As for "AI" and "intelligence"... not so long ago, dogs had no intelligence or soul, and a tic-tac-toe machine was "AI". The exact definition of "intelligence", seems to constantly flow and bend, mostly following anthropocentric egocentrism trends.

a tic-tac-toe machine was “AI”.

No it wasn't. It was (and is) a deterministic program. AI isn't.

It still is

A deterministic program, yes

Plenty of examples out there

You found plenty of examples of people adding an AI player to the game. The game itself is still a deterministic program.

Kind of like saying that ChatGPT is people adding an AI player to the deterministic program of a chat... nah, I'm not going to discuss that. Tic-tac-toe is a classical example problem for neural networks 101, kind of a "hello world".

Except ChatGPT was written from scratch, so not at all like that

Tic-tac-toe is a classical example problem for neural networks 101, kind of a “hello world”

Doesn't change that that isn't how it was implemented to begin with. In your search results there are even people on Reddit asking how to add an AI player to their existing game. Seems like you gave me search results without even looking at them.

Not sure if I'm not explaining myself, or you're choosing to not understand me. I'm going to leave it here.
