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.

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.

Yeah there is a stupid human in this chat but mostly cause they let themselves get tricked by bad logic in order to justify a bad answer.

Yes, this is the saddest thing about this, that people trust these bullshitting chatbots so much that they doubt their own knowledge.

Not as sad as those so secure of their own knowledge, that they refuse to ever revise it.

I'm just not convinced there are only 2 r's in strawberry.

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 2 points 3 days ago

Indeed. The point is, that asking about r is ambiguous.
