Well, it's almost correct. It's just one letter off. Maybe if we invest millions more it will be right next time.

Or maybe it is just not accurate and never will be....I will not every fully trust AI. I'm sure there are use cases for it, I just don't have any.

The letters that make up words is a common blind spot for AIs, since they are trained on strings of tokens (roughly words) they don't have a good concept of which letters are inside those words or what order they are in.

It's very funny that you can get ChaptGPT to spell out the word (making each letter an individual token) and still be wrong.

Of course it makes complete sense when you know how LLMs work, but this demo does a very concise job of short-circuiting the cognitive bias that talking machine == thinking machine.

We're turfing out students by the tens on academic misconduct. They are handing in papers with references that clearly state "generated by Chat GPT". Lazy idiots.

This is why invisible watermarking of AI-generated content is likely to be so effective. Even primitive watermarks like file metadata. It's not hard for anyone with technical knowledge to remove, but the thing with AI-generated content is that anyone who dishonestly uses it when they are not supposed to is probably also too lazy to go through the motions of removing the watermarking.

No, this is Google throwing the cheapest possible shit at you that is barely capable of stringing together 5 coherent sentences and has the reasoning capability of a tapeworm.

Here is the output of the minimalist open Chinese model Qwen3, that runs locally on my 6 year old mid-end PC:

The US states that contain the letter "d" (case-insensitive, as state names are typically capitalized) are as follows. I've verified each state name for the presence of the letter "d" in its standard spelling:

    Colorado (contains "d" in "Colorado")  
    Delaware (starts with "D")  
    Florida (contains "d" in "Florida")  
    Idaho (contains "d" in "Idaho")  
    Indiana (contains "d" in "Indiana")  
    Maryland (ends with "d" in "Maryland")  
    Nevada (contains "d" in "Nevada")  
    North Dakota (contains "d" in "Dakota")  
    Rhode Island (contains "d" in "Rhode")  
    South Dakota (contains "d" in "Dakota")  


Total: 10 states.
