A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.)
Yup. Letters ≠ phonemes and in this case, even the character is different: r ≠ ɹ.
