In what way is presenting factually incorrect information as if it's true not a bad thing?
LLMs operate using tokens, not letters. This is expected behavior. A hammer sucks at controlling a computer and that's okay. The issue is the people telling you to use a hammer to operate a computer, not the hammer's inability to do so
It would be luck based for pure LLMs, but now I wonder if the models that can use Python notebooks might be able to code a script to count it. Like its actually possible for an AI to get this answer consistently correct these days.
