OHHHHHHH.... my bad. I'm an idiot. Being an LLM it's giving the answer it thinks a human such as myself would come up with.

Works fine for me in o3-mini-high:
Counting letters in “strawberry”
Alright, I’m checking: the word “strawberry” is spelled S T R A W B E R R Y. Let me count the letters: S (1), T (2), R (3), A (4), W (5), B (6), E (7), R (8), R (9), Y (10). There are three R’s: in positions 3, 8, and 9. So, the answer is 3. Even if we ignore case, the count still holds. Therefore, there are 3 r’s in “strawberry.”

Or you might eliminate some that are what you are looking for because the summaries are inaccurate.
Guess it depends on whether an unreliable system is still better than being overwhelmed with choices.

Yes, nobody asking that question is wonderring about the "straw" part of the word. They're asking, is the "berry" part one, or two "r"s

A normal person would say 'strawberry with two "r"s'

Really? AI has been marketed as being able to count the r’s in “strawberry?” Please link to this ad.

We have one that indexes all the wikis and GDocs and such at my work and it’s incredibly useful for answering questions like “who’s in charge of project 123?” or “what’s the latest update from team XYZ?”
I even asked it to write my weekly update for MY team once and it did a fairly good job. The one thing I thought it had hallucinated turned out to be something I just hadn’t heard yet. So it was literally ahead of me at my own job.
I get really tired of all the automatic hate over stupid bullshit like this OP. These tools have their uses. It’s very popular to shit on them. So congratulations for whatever agreeable comments your post gets. Anyway.

But you realize that it's wrong on both counts, right?
Strawberry has three Rs or two Rs in the wrong spelling.
