  Yes, two six-sided dice (2d6) are capable of rolling a sum of 9. Here are the possible combinations that would give a total of 9:

  • 3 + 6
  • 4 + 5
  • 5 + 4
  • 6 + 3

  So, there are four different combinations that result in a roll of 9.

  …

  See? LLMs can do everything!

      I asked four AI chats this over DuckDuckGo’s anonymised service:

      “How many r’s are there in Strawberry?”

      ---

      GPT-4o mini

      There are three “r’s” in the word "strawberry."

      Claude 3 Haiku

      There are 3 r’s in the word “Strawberry”.

      Llama 3.0 70B

      There are 2 r’s in the word “Strawberry”.

      Mixtral 8x7B

      There are 2 “r” letters in the word “Strawberry”. Would you like to know more about the privacy features of this service?

      ---

      They got worse at the end, but at least GPT and Claude can count letters.

  I have no knowledge of coding, my bad for asking a stupid question in NSQ.

    Wouldn’t exactly take the comment as negative.

    The output of current LLMs is hit or miss sometimes. And when it misses you might find yourself in a long chain of persuading a sassy robot into writing things as you might intend.

      Thank you for extrapolating for them.

    Sorry, I wasn’t trying to berate you. Just trying to illustrate the underlying assumption of your question
