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.

    What’s interesting IMO is that it got the first two and the last two digits right; and this seems rather consistent across attempts with big numbers. It doesn’t “know” how to multiply numbers, but it’s “trying” to output an answer that looks correct.

    In other words, it’s “bullshitting” - showing disregard to truth value, but trying to convince you.
