Listener Experiments with AI
Listeners have actively engaged by experimenting with AI responses to specific word queries, particularly regarding the letter count in words like 'strawberry.' For example, one listener attempted to ascertain the number of 'R's in 'strawberry' by prompting the AI to analyze the word's components separately. The AI, however, ended up incorrectly counting the 'R's, showcasing the inconsistencies in AI comprehension of language. Such listener interactions highlight both the curiosity and frustration individuals experience when working with AI technologies.
