You are correct but I think you are missing the point.

Remember, from the perspective of all AI companies (OpenAi probably more than most), AI is this monster tech that will surely replace all workers and even your Grandma as it can bake better cookies.

This is yet another display of how lacking AI is in a simple, everyday task... but more importantly, it is a gigantic demonstration of how AI is completely blind to its own weaknesses which is what makes it really really dangerous when used as prescribed by OpenAi and the others

This situation is basically the same as when the brand new $700 iPhones (back when that was eye watering expensive for a phone) could not run an alarm in the mornings and Apple's answer was something like "why are you using your Cadillac phone as a cheap alarm?"... it should fucking wake me up with a massage for that cost!

Oh yeah, that's definitely a problem too. And part of the problem is that AI companies seem to be blind to the LLMs' weaknesses as well.
