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.

    Yes, no, both… and all other interpretations… all at once.

    With any ambiguity in a prompt, it assumes a “blend” of all the possible interpretations, then responds using them all over the place.

    In the case of “Bordeaux”:

    It’s pronounced “bor-DOH”, with the emphasis on the second syllable and a silent “x.”

    So… depending on how you squint: there is no “o”, no “x”, only a “bor” and a “doh”, with a “silent x”, and ending in an “oh like o”.

    Perfectly “logical” 🤷
