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.

it's an AI using an LLM

Which we know by now often produces wrong answers.

Also, the term AI would assume some kind of intelligence, for which I see no evidence.

I'm seeing about as many wrong questions as wrong answers. We're at a point, where it's becoming more accurate to ask, whether the quality of the answer, is "aligned" with the quality of the question.

As for "AI" and "intelligence"... not so long ago, dogs had no intelligence or soul, and a tic-tac-toe machine was "AI". The exact definition of "intelligence", seems to constantly flow and bend, mostly following anthropocentric egocentrism trends.

a tic-tac-toe machine was “AI”.

No it wasn't. It was (and is) a deterministic program. AI isn't.

It still is

A deterministic program, yes

Plenty of examples out there

You found plenty of examples of people adding an AI player to the game. The game itself is still a deterministic program.
