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.

    You don’t use IPA for counting the number of letters in words. That would be stupid, and even linguists would laugh at you.

    It’s still a stupid AI, and it was confidently, and unambiguously, wrong.

      I use IPAs to forget about work crap. (Former linguistics major; I know the other meaning, but it doesn’t come up much at bars.)
