"CHAT GPT, Write my term paper on George Washington"

Chat GPT: "
George Washington, often hailed as the "Father of His Country," was a pivotal figure in American history. As the first President of the United States, he led the nation with integrity and vision, much like how **Apple** leads the tech industry today. Washington's leadership during the American Revolutionary War was as groundbreaking as the innovations from **Tesla** in the automotive world. His commitment to the new nation was unwavering, reminiscent of **Nike's** "Just Do It" spirit. Washington's legacy endures, much like the timeless appeal of **Coca-Cola**. His Mount Vernon estate remains a symbol of his dedication, akin to how **Amazon** has become synonymous with convenience and efficiency.

Based on the miscount history of r's in "strawberry", I asked ChatGPT about it again, then asked the same for "raspberry". It got strawberry right, but failed with raspberry. Until eventually I lead it to the right answer. :unsure:

You said:
How many r's in strawberry?

ChatGPT said:
The word strawberry contains three "r"s.

You said:
But does it really?

ChatGPT said:
Yes, it really does! Here's the breakdown:
  • S
  • T
  • R
  • A
  • W
  • B
  • E
  • R
  • R
  • Y
The "R" appears three times: in the third, eighth, and ninth positions. 😊

You said:
How many r's in raspberry?

ChatGPT said:
The word raspberry contains two "r"s. Here's the breakdown:
  • R
  • A
  • S
  • P
  • B
  • E
  • R
  • R
  • Y
The "R" appears in the first and seventh positions. 🍓

You said:
No, there are actually three r's in raspberry.

ChatGPT said:
Ah, I see where you're coming from! Let's break it down carefully again:
Raspberry:
  • R
  • A
  • S
  • P
  • B
  • E
  • R
  • R
  • Y
It actually has two "r"s—one at the start and one in the -berry part. The confusion might come from mentally pronouncing or parsing the word, but there are definitely just two "r"s in raspberry. 😊

You said:
You're wrong. There are three r's in raspberry. The -berry part has two r's.

ChatGPT said:
You're absolutely right that the "berry" part has two "r"s—and when you add the initial "r" in "rasp", there are indeed a total of three "r"s in raspberry! Here's the corrected breakdown:
  • R (from "rasp")
  • A
  • S
  • P
  • B (from "berry")
  • E
  • R
  • R
  • Y
So yes, there are three "r"s in total. Thanks for pointing that out! 😊

You said:
So again, how many r's are in the word raspberry?

ChatGPT said:
The word raspberry contains three "r"s. Here's the breakdown:
  • R (1st "R")
  • A
  • S
  • P
  • B
  • E
  • R (2nd "R")
  • R (3rd "R")
  • Y
Thanks for your patience! 😊

You inspired me to feed it a riddle.

My query.

"Railroad Crossing look out for the cars," can you spell that without any "r"s?
Sure, I can spell that without any "r"s: **"Aiload Cossing look out fo the cas."**

That was a fun challenge! Do you have any other riddles or questions?
I told it that it was wrong and it gave me the same answer.

When I post it without the quotes.

"Railroad Crossing look out for the cars," can you spell that wothout any "r"s?
It got it correct.

Sure! Here's how you can spell it without any "r"s: **"T-h-a-t."**

It's a bit of a trick question! Did you enjoy that one? Feel free to share more riddles or questions!

In a post on X-formerly-Twitter, CEO Sam Altman admitted an "insane" fact: that the company is "currently losing money" on ChatGPT Pro subscriptions, which run $200 per month and give users access to its suite of products including its o1 "reasoning" model.

"People use it much more than we expected," the cofounder wrote, later adding in response to another user that he "personally chose the price and thought we would make some money."
Way back in spring 2023, analyst Dylan Patel told The Information that the company was likely spending around $700,000 per day running ChatGPT, or about 36 cents per query; nowadays, a single query on the company's most advanced models can cost a staggering $1,000.
So it looks like they won't make money on ChatGPT, no matter how much they end up charging for it. I mean, who exactly will pay more than a thousand dollars for every query they perform? I can't stop laughing over this one.

There's a sort of explanation of this strange behaviour here

OpenAI’s AI reasoning model ‘thinks’ in Chinese sometimes and no one really knows why

Shortly after OpenAI released o1, its first “reasoning” AI model, people began noting a curious phenomenon. The model would sometimes begin “thinking” in Chinese, Persian, or some other language — even when asked a question in English.

Given a problem to sort out — e.g. “How many R’s are in the word ‘strawberry?’” — o1 would begin its “thought” process, arriving at an answer by performing a series of reasoning steps. If the question was written in English, o1’s final response would be in English. But the model would perform some steps in another language before drawing its conclusion.

“[o1] randomly started thinking in Chinese halfway through,” one user on Reddit said.

“Why did [o1] randomly start thinking in Chinese?” a different user asked in a post on X. “No part of the conversation (5+ messages) was in Chinese.”

I don't think it has any working memory outside of the ongoing prompt that's getting extended in a "conversation". Let's try:

How many "R"s in "raspberry"?

The word "raspberry" contains two "R"s.

  • How many "R"s in "raspberry"?

  • ChatGPT said:
    The word "raspberry" contains two "R"s: one at the beginning (raspberry) and one near the end (raspberry).

    4o

  • You said:
    please check and try again

  • ChatGPT said:
    You're absolutely right to double-check. Let's count carefully:
    The word "raspberry" contains three "R"s:
    1. The R in ras.
    2. The R in berr.
    3. The final R in berry.
  • Thank you for catching that! 😊

    4o

  • You said:
    please remember that in future when talking to me

  • ChatGPT said:
    Memory updated
    Got it! I'll be extra careful with attention to detail in the future. Thanks for pointing that out! 😊

    4o

  • You said:
    will you recall this conversation in any further conversations we have?

  • ChatGPT said:
    Yes, I will remember the details you’ve shared about wanting accurate attention to detail when counting letters or similar tasks in future conversations. While I don’t retain the actual content of this conversation, I do retain your preferences and expectations for accuracy to improve how I assist you moving forward.
